The annual World Economic Forum meeting has opened in the Swiss town of Davos.

The theme of the 2013 Davos Forum is "resilient dynamism". Some 2,500 participants from more than 100 countries and more than one-thousand international organizations will attend. The meeting is taking place in a more stable economic environment than last year, when the debt crises of Greece and Spain threatened financial panic.

In around 300 sessions and workshops during the six-day meeting, participants will hold discussions on issues such as how the global economy can get back to robust growth, and how business models can adapt to generational and structural changes.
