NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2020 /CNW/ -- Sharing the same concerns and goals with the leaders of the global economy who will be gathering in Davos to pave the way "for a Cohesive and Sustainable World," SIGEF by Horyou has opted to showcase its own commitment to sustainability through the organization of a side-event to offer a complementary and supportive inclusive vision for a better world.

They will tackle some of the most challenging issues that the global economy is faced with.

"SIGEF has always been tackling the most important global issues and we are thrilled to initiate high-level discussions around them before Davos' qualified audience. In the wake of this new technological age, we aim to contribute to the building of a smarter future for the world as we are bringing together, in their diversity, some of the actors who are leading the positive changes we want to see," says Yonathan Parienti, founder and CEO of Horyou, organizer of SIGEF.
