The Annual Meeting of Global Growth Companies which will be held in August 2007 will be the flagship event and primary community-building activity for the Global Growth Companies. The Annual Meeting will bring together Global Growth Companies and the World Economic Forum’s top experts and leaders of industry. Industry-specific meetings of global business leaders will emphasize the needs and aspirations of companies that are operating globally, developing recognized global brands and managing extremely rapid expansion.
The path to open the China office was set earlier this year in Davos, where a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Mr Zhang Xiaoqing, Vice-Chairman of NDRC and Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. The MoU further strengthens the Forum’s long-standing engagement in China.
About the Community of Global Growth Companies
The World Economic Forum will establish the Community of Global Growth Companies with the mission to enable emerging multinationals to develop into the next generation of global champions and become a major force driving economic development. The community will include companies who demonstrate a clear potential to become leaders in the global economy based on a combination of their business model, growth record, leadership and the markets they serve.
