Annual Report 2024 2025

So, how do we deliver? Three imperatives define our path: growth, resilience and innovation. These are not slogans; they determine whether communities thrive, economies endure and businesses lead. The Forum must now cut through the complexity that too often hinders progress. At the same time, we will rethink our operations. The Forum must embrace innovation – harnessing artificial intelligence (AI), streamlining operations and empowering talent, not chasing novelty for its own sake, but serving better, moving faster and staying relevant in a world that won’t wait. In these turbulent times, the Forum has an opportunity to act as a unique catalyst for cooperation – identifying shared goals and addressing them. We are uniquely positioned to bring together business, government and civil society to ensure that our collective efforts foster growth and expand prosperity in people’s daily lives. As this Annual Report reflects, we have a significant opportunity to continue strengthening international collaboration. The Forum remains a platform for enabling cooperation, building trust, convening critical conversations and advancing common ground. We are deeply grateful to our partners, stakeholders and exceptional staff for their continued trust in the Forum’s mission. Through this enduring spirit of collaboration, we will navigate today’s uncertainties and help build a more resilient and prosperous future. Annual Report 2024-20255 Co-Chairs’ Statement
