 As of June 2009, approximately 200 companies from over 50 countries had been admitted to the World Economic Forum's Community of Global Growth Companies (GGC). The GGC Community was formed in 2007, with the objective of identifying the most dynamic high-growth companies that have the potential to be tomorrow’s industry leaders. The Forum selects companies on the basis of their revenue, growth rate, internationalization and leadership.
The Members of the Community of Global Growth Companies convene annually at the “Summer Davos” in Asia – the Annual Meeting of the New Champions and meet on a regular basis at the World Economic Forum’s Regional Summits. At the above-mentioned meetings, they have an opportunity to brainstorm on the industry-related issues and to connect with the recognized industry leaders, government representatives and renowned faculty. They also engage in direct and structured interaction with other CEOs of high-growth companies to share their insights on how they can increasingly influence the established business landscape and models.

The Membership of the Community of Global Growth Companies is made up of some 200 foremost high-growth companies coming from all over the world. It is by invitation only. The key selection criteria include:
· A demonstrated high level of annual growth rate
· Top industry ranking with a turnover of US$ 100 million to US$ 5 billion
· Solid projected growth potential
· A demonstrated intent and potential to build a global business

Nominate a New Champion
To propose a candidate or nominate your own company please fill in our online nomination form. The Forum has established a selection comittee and all candidates will go through a rigorous due dilligence process.
Since the Community’s inception in 2007, over 200 rapidly growing companies (PDF) from around the world have joined as members.
These member companies benefit from a programme of structured content, delivered by Strategic Partners of the Forum, as well as informal, peer-to-peer exchanges of experiences and best practices.
The GGCs join the Forum’s Technology Pioneers and Young Global Leaders to form the Forum’s Community of New Champions.
Members of this Community have opportunities to come together at all Forum regional meetings as well as at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions. The Inaugural Annual Meeting of the New Champions, an overwhelming success, took place in Dalian, People Republic of China, from 6-8 September 2007.
