Global Redesign Summit 2010 Doha, Qatar 30 - 31 May 2010
The Global Redesign Summit in Doha will focus on proposals for improved international cooperation.
Since the financial crisis began, the World Economic Forum has provided a platform through its Global Redesign Initiative for business, political and civil society leaders to examine gaps in international cooperation and develop proposals to overcome some of these shortcomings.
More than 1,200 of these leaders from the academic, policy, business and non-governmental communities have been working as part of the Forum's Global Agenda Councils. A brainstorming of more than 700 experts was held in Dubai in November 2009while the whole Forum network, including industry groups, Young Global Leaders and Social Entrepreneurs, have also contributed ideas. In parallel these discussions have run through the Forum's Regional and other Summits.
The Forum's Annual Meeting 2010 in Davos devoted a large part of both its public and private meetings to presenting and reviewing these proposals.

The Forum's Annual Meeting 2010 in Davos devoted a large part of both its public and private meetings to presenting and reviewing these proposals.
For example, there was intense debate between bankers, regulators and ministries present on appropriate levels of bank capitalization and regulation for the future. There were similarly frank exchanges on how to help move the climate change agenda forward before the next inter-governmental meeting in Mexico at the end of 2010.
The Global Redesign Summit in Doha will be a moment of transition from incubation of these ideas in Forum meetings to when the proposals that enjoy support may be picked up and carried forwards to governments, business and others who are willing to become their champions.
