Formula 1 at Davos

The World Economic Forum is the annual gathering of top business leaders, politicians and intellectuals at Davos in Switzerland. They meet to discuss social and economic problems in an informal atmosphere. The event is also attended by international non-governmental organisations such as Amnesty International, Oxfam and Friends of the Earth. It is an opportunity for ideas to be exchanged and business to be done and it is interesting that India's Tata Consulting is exhibiting a Ferrari F1 car at the event - an indication that F1 is a global means of delivering any message.
