Our work brings foresight, dialogue, and cooperation to the challenges that matter most for people and the planet.

The Forum’s work on systemic global challenges is advanced through our 11 Centres. They convene experts, produce insight and drive collaboration on practical solutions that turn shared understanding into action. Through initiatives, reports and communities that connect leaders and organizations worldwide, the Centres transform dialogue into progress. Each Centre also creates and facilitates communities, bringing together leaders from business, government, civil society, academia and beyond to exchange insights and advance shared agendas.

The work of the Centres is complemented by the Forum’s meetings, which provide platforms for trust-based engagement, robust debate, and public dialogue. These include large-scale gatherings such as the Annual Meeting in Davos and the Annual Meeting of New Champions in China, which convene leaders from across sectors and regions around long-term challenges and emerging issues, as well as thematic and regional meetings such as the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, and Industry Strategy Meetings.

Throughout its over five-decade history, the Forum has worked to build trust through dialogue, support decision-making through research and insights, and enable cooperation through hundreds of public-private initiatives. The Global Foresight Network is a global community of Forum experts, industry researchers, and partner organizations turning insights into foresight across industries. The Forum produces flagship reports such as the Global Gender Gap, Future of Jobs, Global Risks, Global Cybersecurity Outlook, the Global Cooperation Barometer as well as many other publications that provide trusted, cutting-edge foresight to help guide global action.
