Speaking at the TIME100 Davos Dinner, Okonjo-Iweala noted that 2026 is a turbulent time for global trade. “The multilateral trading system has been bashed. We are seeing the greatest disruptions in 80 years,” said Okonjo-Iweala. “Most people think the system is dead and the WTO is no more, and that we’re living in a universe in which another system is building.” https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5mznC4YM.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/5mznC4YM 89 2026-01-20T22:58:56+00:00 no no https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/iJGQupoI/poster.jpg?width=720 Ben Lamm On Focusing On The Future Ben Lamm, a 2025 TIME100 Next honoree, is the CEO and co-founder of Colossal Biosciences, a company that seeks to restore extinct species. And recently, even drawings of wooly mammoths have found their way to Lamm. “The thing that inspired us most was not what we were doing, but two years ago, we started getting letters. We started getting pictures of mammoths and not-so-well-drawn dodos from kids,” he said at the TIME100 Davos Dinner. The flurry of drawings and pictures from not only children but parents and teachers too encouraged Lamm and his colleagues to develop an entirely new team dedicated to the young people inspired by Colossal Biosciences’ work. “We changed our core values as a company where a third of our business now is really focused on the next generation,” said Lamm. “I think that kids are the most important asset that we would ever have.” The entrepreneur sees the next generation as imperative to success in the future. “Our investment in solving solutions are only going to be as good as if these kids take those solutions and run with the ball or then take it to the next level,” he said, noting that, since his company turned its focus toward children, business, recruitment, and funding have all “taken off.” https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/iJGQupoI.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/iJGQupoI 153 2026-01-20T22:53:52+00:00 no no https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/LfMWnkGb/poster.jpg?width=720 Nomzamo Mbatha On Shifting Paradigms An actress and a businesswoman, Nomzamo Mbatha is also a staunch human rights activist. Since 2019, the South African has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and she has met with refugees and internally displaced people through her role. Mbatha told attendees at the TIME100 Davos Dinner that, through her own non-profit organization, the Nomzamo Lighthouse Foundation, she has been able to fund 10 South African students to attend top universities in the country to study STEM programs. There are tens of millions displaced globally, but Mbatha reminded: “The numbers have names, and the numbers have faces. If we change that narrative, we begin to shift the paradigm. … I hope that as we go through the concrete jungle of Davos this week, that we remember that every single number, every single statistic, translates to a person,” she said. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/LfMWnkGb.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/LfMWnkGb 431 2026-01-20T22:48:11+00:00 no no https://time.com/7345832/stevie-wonder-mlk-day-documentary-time-impact-traci-curry/ https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/rqmzjJH5/poster.jpg?width=720 Director And Filmmaker Traci A.
