JLL at Davos 2026

Seeing opportunity in change

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting at Davos is one of the most important global events for companies, governments and communities to come together and work to find solutions to the most crucial issues facing our world.

We decode global trends to help make sense of today’s complex business environment

As leaders in the real estate industry, our intelligence goes beyond informing decisions. It illuminates the connections between data and human insight to give occupiers and investors the clarity to see what's coming and act in the right moment. It's about understanding the forces reshaping industries, cities and investment landscapes — then translating that understanding into confident next moves.

It's about seeing value in transforming real estate into a strategic platform that creates new opportunities. Because when insights replace guesswork, organizations don’t just adapt to the future. They shape it.

That's finding opportunity in change.

How can we cooperate more in a contested world?

In an increasingly complex world, cooperation among companies is more important than ever, says JLL Global CEO and President Christian Ulbrich. And Davos is an event that can cement those partnerships.

How can we deploy innovation at scale and responsibly?

The opportunities for technology and AI to continue to drive deeper insights and better decisions for real estate portfolios, and across broader business strategies, is especially valuable in times of uncertainty, says Sanjay Rishi, JLL CEO, Work Dynamics, Americas and Head of Industries.

How can we build prosperity within planetary boundaries?

Technology’s all-encompassing disruption poses big questions about energy and the future of the planet. From data centers to office buildings, our role is to educate about the impact and opportunity of the world’s real estate asset, says Sue Asprey Price, EMEA CEO and Global Head of Portfolio Services, Work Dynamics.

How can we invest better in people?

There’s no doubt that jobs and professions will continue to change in the era of AI. But Neil Murray, JLL’s CEO of Real Estate Management Services, says it’s the role of business leaders to ensure that their people are prepared for that change, so technology can actually elevate people and create better jobs in the future.

How can we unlock new sources of growth?

Davos always provides clues into new growth opportunities, whether it’s insights into new industries or markets ready to take the next step. JLL’s CEO of Capital Markets, Richard Bloxom, shares what he thinks will be the big conversation topics in 2026.
