The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a Swiss nonprofit foundation founded in 1971. WEF cites its mission as “committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas”.

Each year, WEF hosts an annual summit at which 2500 business leaders, international politicians and academics present their findings and predictions on industries of the future.

Here’s the list of skills these experts believe will be integral to success in 2020.
