The World Economic Forum provides a global, impartial and not-for-profit platform, acting as an independent International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. At a time of heightened turbulence and uncertainty, the Forum is instrumental to provide deeper insight into the interconnected issues we face today, serve as a platform for meaningful connection between stakeholders to establish trust, and build structured public-private initiatives for cooperation and progress. I am pleased to share our results for 1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023 in this Annual Report, demonstrating strong and sustained growth in our efforts to serve global stakeholders.The world faces four key transformations that are interconnected and mutually reinforcing: economic and environmental, political and geopolitical, technological, and societal. Together, these four transformations create both trade-offs and opportunities for decision-makers in government, business and civil-society. The Forum supports leaders and the wider public in understanding these challenges and in coming together to design and implement solutions.
