DAVOS-KLOSTERS, Switzerland — Anthony “Tony” Blumberg, global investor, philanthropist, and Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of the Blumberg Family Office and Blumberg Family Trust, will attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place January 19–23 in Davos, Switzerland.

The WEF Annual Meeting convenes approximately 2,500 leaders from more than 120 countries, including heads of state, CEOs, institutional investors, technologists, and policymakers, to address pressing global economic challenges and long-term strategic priorities.

The 2026 meeting comes at a pivotal moment as artificial intelligence scales rapidly, electrification accelerates, and governments reassess supply chain resilience for critical minerals. Discussions are expected to focus on AI infrastructure, capital allocation, copper, rare earths, energy transition, and sustainable development—areas that align directly with Blumberg’s decades of global investment experience.

From Petrodollars to Metal-Dollars


“We are exiting the petrodollar era and entering the metal-dollar era,” said Blumberg. “AI, modern infrastructure, and the energy transition are physical systems built from copper, rare earths, and other critical minerals. Before you upload to the cloud, you have to dig the ground. Progress begins in the soil.”

Blumberg’s perspective reflects a growing thesis among resource-focused investors: the digital economy’s growth is fundamentally constrained by underappreciated physical supply chains in the technology sector.

A Century-Long Mining Legacy Meets Modern Investment Strategy


Through the Blumberg Family Office and Blumberg Family Trust, Blumberg oversees a diversified, long-cycle portfolio spanning mining, natural resources, real estate, and technology, with exposure to copper, rare earths, gold, platinum, nickel, and other strategic materials. The Blumberg family’s mining heritage dates back over a century, including historic ties to Anglo American’s founding in 1917.

“Every AI model, EV, and data center depends on critical minerals,” Blumberg said in a recent interview. “The responsibility is to ensure supply chains are sustainable, ethical, and globally resilient.”

Sustainability and Global Stewardship


Beyond investing, Blumberg is an active philanthropist supporting initiatives in conservation, clean water, education, and community development across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. His participation in WEF 2026 underscores a commitment to responsible resource development and long-term global stewardship in what he describes as the emerging metal-dollar economy.
