CORE ACTIVITIES ON E-COMMERCE AND THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. It provides a global, impartial and not-for-profit platform for meaningful connection between stakeholders to establish trust, and build initiatives for cooperation and progress.  

At the heart of WEF’s mission of improving the state of the world lies the belief in the power of human ingenuity, entrepreneurship, innovation and cooperation. WEF recognizes the need for a forum fostering rigorous and respectful dialogue between and among leaders with different beliefs and viewpoints, where diversity of thought is respected, and all voices can be heard. Achieving this mission is made possible by all the stakeholders, who come together to find common ground and seize opportunities for positive change.
