Members of WEF

Members

Forum Members are companies that are driving the world economy forward. The typical Member company is a global enterprise with more than US$ 5 billion in turnover, although this varies by industry and region.

In addition, these enterprises rank among the top companies within their industry and/or country (generally based on turnover in US$ millions; for financial institutions the criteria is based on assets) and play a leading role in shaping the future of their industry and/or region.

The Forum’s 1,000 Member companies are at the heart of all our activities and their support is essential to helping us find truly sustainable solutions to improve the state of the world.

Strategic Partners

Strategic Partners comprise some of the world’s leading corporate citizens and provide essential leadership in support of the Forum’s mission. Strategic Partners are a key force in our activities and communities at the global, regional and industry levels. They help shape our initiatives, projects and task forces and give intellectual guidance through the participation of their most senior executives on steering boards and in advisory groups. Their considerable financial support and in-kind services – including the provision of dedicated staff to assist with our operations – allow the Forum to deliver its programmes and advance worldwide economic and social progress.

Industry Partners

Industry Partners come from a broad range of business sectors, including construction, aviation, technology, tourism, food and beverage, energy, engineering and construction, and financial services. These companies are alert to the global issues that most affect their specific industry sector. You can find more detailed information in our Industry Partnership programme section.
