The World Economic Forum is an independent, not-for-profit international organization headquartered in Geneva that convenes business, political, academic and other leaders to address global challenges. Operating for more than 50 years, it facilitates public-private cooperation across trade and investment, frontier technologies, cybersecurity, energy, climate and nature, and health.
The organization structures its work around five interconnected global challenges: growth, geopolitics, technology, people and planet. It operates at global, regional and industry levels, engaging leaders to shape agendas and build collaboration. The Forum produces several flagship reports that influence decision-making worldwide, including the Global Gender Gap, Future of Jobs, Global Risks, Global Cybersecurity Outlook and Global Cooperation Barometer.
The Forum positions itself as a trusted platform where relationships are built, insights are deepened and collaboration takes root. Its mission centres on improving the state of the world through convening diverse stakeholders to develop solutions to shared challenges.
