DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, January 22, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In his speech,"A New Approach to Capitalism in the 21st Century," Bill Gates will describe a vision for how the world's business community can actively work in partnership with government and non-profit organizations to help reduce inequity.

Gates will illustrate how global leaders are creating new markets and providing expanded access to existing ones -- tapping into a new kind
of "Creative Capitalism" -- to improve lives. By stretching the reach

the world's most intractable problems.
