For the 9th year, the Hub Culture Davos Pavilion is set to host world leading partners, innovators and leaders in Davos, Switzerland. This year features more activity with the ICEhouse and Pavilion, a new Terrace focused on the needs of humanitarian organizations and a deeper focus on food innovation at the Kask ad Kitchen.

The ICEhouse, (situated above the main Pavilion at Promenade 93) was a new addition to the Hub Culture Davos Pavilion in 2016 and will be returning to help facilitate discussions around the Future of Innovation for the Circular Economy, along with the theme of this year's World Economic Forum Annual Meeting - Responsive and Responsible Leadership.

Created by McDonough Innovation and SABIC, the building has been designed to demonstrate the positive design framework described in the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, the sustainable development goals of the United Nations, and the reuse of resources implicit in the circular economy. Read more on the creation and vision of the ICEhouse here.

The Davos experience is made possible with visionary partners. For the ICEhouse, this visionary partnership includes SAP, Johnson&Johnson, Palo Alto Networks and Cognizant, the premier ICEhouse partners who make the building possible with SABIC and McDonough Innovation.
