Taking Growth Global


The World Economic Forum’s Community of Global Growth Companies


Klaus Schwab (centre), Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum, with some of the founding members of the Community of Global Growth Companies, gathered at the Inaugural Annual Meeting of the New Champions

The second Annual Meeting of the New Champions will take place from 27-28 September 2008 in Tianjin, People’s Republic of China.

The rate at which emerging companies are appearing on the world stage is changing the global economic landscape.

Visionary companies can expand more rapidly than ever before, yielding dynamic new business opportunities, improving infrastructure and generating employment around the world.

The World Economic Forum’s Community of Global Growth Companies (GGCs) was created to recognize the next generation of industry leaders. It supports them as they navigate the challenges of new geographies, markets, cultures and regulatory systems as they become a major driving force in social and economic development.

The Community of Global Growth Companies consists of companies that:

  • Are expanding outside their traditional boundaries
  • Experience growth rates exceeding 15 per cent year-on-year
  • Have revenues typically between US$100 million and US$ 2 billion
  • Have demonstrated leadership in a particular industry
  • Have an outstanding executive leadership.

Since the Community’s inception in 2007 (see press release), more than 200 rapidly growing companies (PDF) from around the world have joined as members.

These member companies benefit from a programme of structured content, delivered by Strategic Partners of the Forum, as well as informal, peer-to-peer exchanges of experiences and best practices.

The GGCs join the Forum’s Technology Pioneers and Young Global Leaders to form the Forum’s Community of New Champions.

Members of this Community have opportunities to come together at all Forum regional meetings as well as at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions. The Inaugural Annual Meeting of the New Champions, an overwhelming success, took place in Dalian, People Republic of China, from 6-8 September 2007.
