Web3 Foundation, together with the parachain teams of PureStake (Moonbeam), Enjin (Efinity), BOTLabs GmbH (KILT), Trace Labs (OriginTrail), Robonomics, and Bit.country to participate in one of the most influential global events; the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2022. In order to achieve real change for tomorrow, we need to educate the leaders of today, many of whom attend the WEF: this presents a unique opportunity to build brand awareness and interest for Polkadot, build connections with enterprise audiences, business, tech, and mainstream media groups so that they better understand blockchain technology, take part in the Web3 roadmap and see Polkadot as the best technology platform for building blockchain projects.
The goals of this proposal are:

- to build Polkadot awareness among policymakers, business executives and CEOs, top-tier journalists and technologists, as these people are usually not part of our audience

- to create interest and establish strong relationships with them

- to present Polkadot products/networks/platforms/solutions

- to show the business audience how they could benefit from Polkadot products/networks/platforms/solutions and how Polkadot is already applicable in real-life cases, beyond DeFi

- to make the media audience understand blockchain technology and Polkadot and how blockchain can impact the way we live and do business

- to educate the leaders of today in order to deliver real change for tomorrow.
