天下 | “达沃斯”为啥叫达沃斯？

9月9日，夏季达沃斯在大连拉开序幕，吸引了全球的目光。但好多小伙伴并不清楚达沃斯为啥叫达沃斯，也不清楚达沃斯和夏季达沃斯的区别，今天我们就从头来说说。

1971年，瑞士日内瓦大学的教授克劳斯•施瓦布创建了“欧洲管理论坛”，1987年改名为世界经济论坛，总部设在日内瓦。因为论坛每年1月都在瑞士东部小镇达沃斯举行年会，因此被称为“达沃斯论坛”。

In 1971, Klaus Schwab, a business professor at the University of Geneva, founded the European Management Forum. It was renamed the World Economic Forum in 1987, with its headquarters in Geneva. As the forum holds its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland each January, the location alone is often used to identify the meeting, especially in the Chinese language.

论坛参与者主要包括各国政治和经济领导人、企业首脑及著名专家学者，探讨话题包括世界经济领域存在的问题，以及如何促进国际经济合作与交流。

Participants at the annual meeting include political and economic leaders, heads of enterprises and famed experts and scholars who discuss world economic issues and explore ways to promote international cooperation and exchanges.

在施瓦布教授和温家宝总理的推动下，达沃斯从2007年开始设立“新领军者年会”，由大连和天津轮流举办。

Initiated by Professor Schwab and former Chinese premier Wen Jiabao, the forum established the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in 2007. It is held every year in China, alternating between Dalian and Tianjin as the host city.

因其与每年年初在瑞士达沃斯举办的“世界经济论坛”年会相辅相成，且“达沃斯”这个名称所包含的意义已经约定俗成，所以也被誉为“夏季达沃斯论坛”。

As the session complements the annual meeting in Davos each January and Davos has an established meaning, the Annual Meeting of New Champions is also known as Summer Davos.

夏季达沃斯是世界500强企业与最有发展潜力的增长型企业、各国和地区政府间的高峰会议。根据惯例，国务院总理将在论坛上发表演讲并和企业家进行交流。

Summer Davos is a summit for top 500 companies and global growth companies and provides a platform for inter-governmental or inter-regional exchanges. The Chinese premier usually gives a speech at Summer Davos and exchanges opinions with entrepreneurs.
