The World Economic Forum (WEF) was founded in 1971 as a non-profit foundation independent from political, partisan, or national interests. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Forum is an international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas. The "Summer Davos," formally known as the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, is the leading global business gathering in Asia organized by the WEF. Hosted by China since 2007, the Summer Davos brings together over 2,000 participants including leaders from business, government, media, academia, and civil society from 90 countries to discuss global issues and risks, share solutions, and transform agendas into action.
