World Economic Forum

What we do

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos and regional activities around the world are occasions for leaders to outline major challenges and define strategies to address them. The Centre for Public-Private Partnerships galvanizes all parts of society for the common good, developing public-private partnerships to tackle crucial international issues, from climate change to corruption. These initiatives draw on the experiences and strengths of many parties – business, NGOs, governments and institutions – to provide holistic solutions.

The Forum has been the catalyst of concreteactions in the global public interest. We will remain committed to our mission to improve the state of the world for many years to come – engaging business, government, religious, cultural and civil society leaders to address together the ways to meet worldwide challenges and emerging risks to make the world a better place.
