The World Economic Forum is an independent, international organization committed to "improving the state of the world." The organization brings together world leaders and provides them with a platform to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Deloitte's relationship with the Forum stretches back more than 15 years. As a Strategic Partner, Deloitte provides the Forum with access to its deep pool of talent, knowledge and resources. Deloitte has co-developed a number of major research reports and has been involved in various project initiatives, supporting both the Annual Meeting in Davos and regional summits throughout the year. Deloitte’s partnership helps the World Economic Forum create a dynamic environment in which business, government and intellectual leaders can define, examine and advance key issues of global public interest with the degree of discernment these issues demand.
