All About World Economic Forum Summit In Davos, Who Is Attending | Read

A day before the World Economic Forum (WEF) was scheduled to start in Davos, the highest town in Europe has turned into a fortress with the deployment of 5,000 Swiss army personnel. Over the next week, the small Alpine resort town will host some of the biggest names in the world-- from business to government and civil society to art and culture and a lot of others-- for the rare annual confluence. 

Swiss Parliament has approved the deployment of a maximum of 5,000 soldiers, some of those equipped with the latest gadgets like drones and AI-powered tools, to support the large number of police and civilian personnel tasked to secure the Swizz skeeting town. Given the high-profile nature of the event, beginning Monday, the security is both discreet and visible and comprises snipers, drone jammers, regular frisking and checking and round-the-clock patrol.
