Every January, The World Economic Forum holds its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The goal is to improve the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas. As part of our \\u201cDavos Talks 2020 \\u201d series, Jeffrey Saviano is bringing us 6 episodes from and inspired by his time in Davos.\\xa0

Government agencies and the private sector once operated in completely different spheres. Today, the public sector is ill-equipped to deal with urgent global challenges, while the private sector has plenty of capital but faces an uncertain future. In today\\u2019s episode, Jeff discusses the potential of \\u201cuncommon coalitions\\u201d between the two with Tomicah Tillemann and Dante Dispartae.


Tomicah, executive director of the Digital Impact and Governance Initiative at New America, and Dante, head of policy at the Libra Foundation, cite vaccination and transit\\xa0improvements as strong examples of public-private partnerships. As challenging as they can be to implement, the two say, they\\u2019re often the only effective solutions to pressing global\\xa0issues.\\xa0

Join them for an in-depth look at how these strategic partnerships can promote a more sustainable future, stable business environments and greater diversity in leadership.
