Unprecedented Security Measures at WEF 2026: A Fortified Swiss Haven
Security forces exceeding 5,000 personnel are deployed with airspace restrictions as protesters plan marches against capitalism and inequality during the five-day forum.
- On Monday , the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting opens in Davos under heavy security, with authorities deploying more than 500 armed personnel and AI-powered drones.
- Protesters argue the forum's decisions are undemocratic and demand economic democratisation and an end to capitalism, while organisers say U.S. President Donald Trump's presence next week has boosted turnout.
- Around 600 people set off from Küblis for Davos, including Massa Koné and Maeva Strub, with about half from Switzerland.
- The Swiss government estimates about CHF 9 million in extra security costs, with funding shared among WEF, the Swiss federal government, the Canton of Graubunden and Davos, and authorities require detailed demonstration arrangements with prosecutions for offences.
- The gathering brings together more than 400 political leaders, including at least 64 heads of state or government, chiefs of major international organisations, and over a thousand CEOs and cultural figures.
