GLP1s and Whole Person Health: A Leadership Imperative Fireside Chat and Reception Health is foundational to economic growth, workforce resilience, and long-term societal wellbeing, yet access to effective, sustainable care remains highly fragmented across health systems. Too often, the people who need care most face the greatest barriers—driving preventable costs, diminished productivity, and long-term inequities that affect individuals, employers, and economies alike. This panel will explore how employer-sponsored access to GLP-1–based care, delivered as part of an integrated health model, is reshaping population health outcomes. The conversation will examine how employers and benefits leaders can use health access as a strategic lever to expand equitable care, bend the healthcare cost curve, modernize benefits design, and strengthen workforce participation. Speakers include Shelley Lyford, CEO, West Health; Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer, Aon; Linda Yaccarino, Chief Executive Officer, eMed #davos2026 #vitality #westhealth #aon

Workshop with Zeke to architect nature solutions for 2026.

What if hotels weren’t extractive businesses - but catalysts for regenerating entire regions? At Davos 2026, Diane Binder and Nicola Gryczka, co-founders of Regenopolis, unpack the powerful idea of regenerative hospitality: using hotels, food systems, and tourism as engines for ecological restoration, cultural revival, and local economic resilience. From place-based transformation and regenerative food systems to real-world examples in Brazil, this conversation explores how hospitality can move beyond “sustainability” and become a force for long-term regeneration - for people, nature, and local economies. Hospitality isn’t just about beds and meals anymore. It’s about belonging to a place - and leaving it better than you found it. #RegenerativeHospitality #RegenerativeTourism #FutureOfHospitality #PlaceBasedChange #BlueEconomy #SustainableTravel #ImpactInvesting #Regeneration #HospitalityInnovation #FoodSystems #LocalEconomies #Davos2026 #PurposeDrivenBusiness #Davos #HubCulture

In this comedy performance at Davos, British impressionist Rory Bremner delivers a biting Trump impersonation fresh off the former president’s controversial speech. Watch as Bremner skewers Trump’s ambitions to acquire Greenland, his claim about winning a “FIFA Piece Prize,” and his outlandish tariff proposals - including a 200% tax on champagne if Macron won’t join his “board of peace.” Interviewer Edie Lush from Hub Culture engages Bremner in a candid discussion about Trump’s Davos address, comparing it to wartime threat scenarios. Bremner breaks down the rhetoric, fact-checks inflated claims (inflation at 2.7% vs. claims of “zero inflation”), and explores how Trump’s messaging uses “alternative facts”—a term Kellyanne Conway popularized in 2017. The conversation spirals into comedic gold as Bremner tackles: • Trump’s NATO criticism and his apparent ignorance of Denmark’s military sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan • His geopolitical fantasies (turning Gaza into a Spearmint Rhino, owning Greenland) • British politics and the Conservative Party’s collapse under Liz Truss and Kemi Badenoch • References to Tony Blair, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, and subtle digs at King Charles and Prince Andrew A must-watch for fans of political satire, impressionist comedy, and sharp analysis of contemporary global politics. Perfect for viewers interested in media criticism, Davos insights, and how comedians decode political rhetoric.

Note: Ocean 14 Capital Ltd is an Appointed Representative of G10 Capital and the Investment Advisor to the Ocean 14 Capital Fund I. At Davos 2026, we’re talking about the economy that underpins every other economy: the BLUE ECONOMY. Chris Gorell Barnes, Co-Founder of Blue Marine Foundation and Ocean 14 Capital, joins us to explain why the ocean is finally getting the attention it deserves — from global leaders, investors, philanthropists, and industry. The ocean isn’t just about conservation. It’s about: ? Planetary stability (the ocean is Earth’s operating system) ?️ Food security for a growing global population ? Shipping, trade & transport ? A $3 trillion annual economy — the equivalent of the world’s 7th largest GDP We dive into: Why the blue economy is the most important investment thesis of our time How sustainable aquaculture and “blue foods” can outperform land-based protein The role of AI, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and smart farming How shipping companies, ports, and investors are aligning profit with ocean protection Why protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 is not optional — it’s essential From Blue Marine Foundation’s work protecting millions of square kilometers of ocean, to Ocean 14 Capital’s investments in scalable blue technologies, this is what regenerative capitalism actually looks like. If the ocean fails, everything fails. If the ocean thrives, we all do. #BlueDavos #BlueEconomy #OceanHealth #SustainableInvesting #FoodSecurity #ClimateAction #Davos2026 #ImpactInvesting #OceanCapital #RegenerativeEconomy #davos #hubculture

At Davos 2026, climate may not be the loudest word in the room—but it’s shaping everything beneath the surface. In this conversation from the Hub Culture studio, Executive Editor Edie Lush sits down with J.P. Douglas-Henry, Partner of DLA Piper UK LLP, one of the world’s largest law firms and sustainability practices. They unpack: • Why “resilience” has replaced “climate” in global conversations • The rise of a two-speed sustainability world • How geopolitics is forcing companies into impossible regulatory positions • What the International Court of Justice ruling on climate obligations really means • Why businesses should stop trying to predict political outcomes—and start following the money Whether you believe in climate change, can talk about it publicly, or are navigating the legal and economic reality behind the scenes—this is the conversation business leaders can’t afford to ignore. #Davos2026 #HubCulture #Sustainability #Climate #Resilience #Geopolitics #ESG #EnergyTransition #ClimateLaw #FutureOfBusiness

The sustainability conversation hasn’t disappeared — it’s matured. From shipping routes optimized by AI to reduce fuel use, to aquaculture innovations that protect ocean floors while maintaining yields, this discussion from Davos explores how capital is moving into practical solutions, not performative ones. Paul Corgnier and Ohana Duboscq of SCD PARTNERS share why they invest in sustainable companies operating inside traditionally unsustainable industries — and why sectors like maritime shipping, food production, and AI-driven health innovation are where real change is happening now. We also unpack how regulation, transparency, and data access are reshaping consumer trust and accelerating investment, particularly across Europe. Less noise. More execution. This is what the next phase of sustainability actually looks like. #HubCulture #Sustainability #Resilience #AIInnovation #OceanHealth #CleanShipping #FutureOfFood #ImpactInvesting #SystemsChange #ClimateInnovation

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept — it’s a geopolitical, economic, and societal force shaping decisions right now. In this conversation from Davos, neuroscientist and AI strategist Olivier Oullier breaks down how AI has moved from buzzwords to real-world deployment: from AI agents in the workplace, to critical minerals, energy systems, and health innovation. He reflects on the resurgence of science in global decision-making, the role of policymakers and industry leaders, and why credible research is reclaiming its seat at the table. Ullier also shares insights from his work in the Middle East, where education, policy, data, and institutions are aligning to build an AI-ready society — from classrooms to hospitals, from reasoning models to physical AI. This is a grounded, global view of where AI is heading — and what it will take to deploy it responsibly, intelligently, and at scale. #HubCulture #Davos #Davos2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #AILeadership #FutureOfWork #ScienceAndPolicy #TechInnovation #Geopolitics #AIandHealth
