Nerio Alessandri, Founder and CEO of Technogym, will once again take part to the World Economic Forum, to be held in Davos, Switzerland, from January 22-25. The World Economic Forum brings together the world’s foremost CEOs, heads of state, policy-makers, experts, international organizations, innovators and representatives of civil society with the aim of driving positive change.
This year these leaders will focus on Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a theme which calls on global decision makers to renew the systems that have supported international cooperation in the past by adapting them to today’s scenario dominated on one side by complexity and incertitude, and on the other side by advanced technologies able to create innovations at a speed and scale unparalleled in human history. In this context, rich of both threats and opportunities, ensuring people’s health and wellness will be among the leaders’ top priorities both on the public and the private sector.
Wellness at World Economic Forum
Nerio Alessandri will be one of the key leaders involved in the Health and Healthcare initiative, a framework aimed at shaping the future of health and healthcare by promoting healthy behaviours and sustainability in healthcare. In particular, Alessandri will present Wellness as a central driving force in promoting social and economic sustainability.
In a world in which non-communicable diseases and unhealthy lifestyles are on the rise, Wellness is vital in stopping this negative trend and in enhancing people’s quality of life. Today, wellness must be seen as a social opportunity for everyone - an opportunity for governments to reduce health service costs by implementing public policies that promote health in every aspect of civil society (e.g. human planning initiatives, actions in the field of education, sports, tax incentives, etc); an opportunity for companies to develop corporate wellness programs, leading to benefits both for employees in terms of quality of life and for the companies in terms of creativity and increased productivity; finally, an opportunity for all citizens to improve their health and daily lifestyle thanks to a regular physical activity.
