The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. World Economic Forum events bring decision-makers together to address the world's most crucial issues. These events enable members and constituents to discuss global and regional issues by sharing first-hand information and insights. Incorporated as a foundation in 1971, and based in Geneva, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum is impartial and not-for-profit; it is tied to no political, partisan or national interests. The World Economic Forum is under the supervision of the Swiss

Since 2000, the World Economic Forum has been promoting the powerful models developed by the world’s leading social entrepreneurs in close collaboration with the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurs are invited to actively participate in the regional meetings of the World Economic Forum as well as the Annual Meetings. They participate in Forum Initiatives, the conversations shaping the future agendas of industries and are experts for the Forum’s Global Agenda Councils.
