Frontiers has announced the launch of the Frontiers Science House, a meeting venue on the Davos Promenade created for participants of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting taking place from 19–23 January 2026.
The venue is designed to connect breakthrough scientific research with government, business leaders, investors, and philanthropists, supported by more than 30 global partners. Its focus is the transformative science needed to address societal challenges, with a program of more than 40 sessions aimed at informing policy and investment decisions across fields such as precision biomedicine and the quantum revolution.
The initiative is backed by a broad coalition of organizations. Partners include Microsoft, Novartis, the European Innovation Council, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNESCO, the University of Exeter, Imperial College, the International Science Council, the European Space Policy Institute, etc.
Frontiers indicates that the Science House extends its mission to ensure that open science drives real impact by creating a space in which researchers and decision-makers can work together to accelerate progress toward healthier lives and a healthier planet.
The program will serve as a platform for announcing global science initiatives and will convene expertise across disciplines. Sessions will address areas such as precision healthcare and data-driven medicine; planetary restoration, biodiversity, and net-zero pathways; digital intelligence, trustworthy AI, and technology governance; financing and scaling scientific solutions for global impact; and open science, research integrity, and knowledge equity.
The agenda includes scientific thought leaders, senior government officials, chief executives, philanthropists, and representatives from civil society. Early confirmed speakers are listed on the Frontiers Science House website.
Frontiers notes that the launch comes at a moment when planetary, technological, and health-related pressures are intensifying, while emerging research often struggles to reach industrial scale. The Science House is positioned as a response to this gap, offering a setting where evidence can guide policy and investment decisions to accelerate innovation.
