The five-day annual meeting is expected to attract more than 2,500 representatives from 96 countries, including a record 43 heads of state or government and 1,400 business leaders, organizers said.

"A lot of discussions will be devoted to the present crisis management, and how to get out of the crisis," said Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF.

The world is now facing a number of complicated crises, most notably the financial and economic crisis, he said.

"We have to change or adapt the system." he said.

Among the world leaders attending the meeting, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will address participants on the first day of the meeting.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Japanese Premier Taro Aso will also address the sessions.
