Nominate a New Champion

Who will be a global top-500 corporation in 10 years?

A new generation of rapidly emerging companies is reshaping the global economic landscape. Through their vision they pioneer new markets, develop innovative business models, and generate economic and social opportunities around the world.

We recognize these dynamic companies as New Champions. Why? They have a proven track record of success and have demonstrated their potential to attain global leadership within the next 5 to 10 years.

The World Economic Forum has initiated the community of New Champions to acknowledge this next generation of industry leaders. The Forum provides a privileged platform tailored to New Champion companies and attuned to their growth aspirations across new regions, markets, cultures and regulatory systems.

Nearly 200 premier companies from around the world have joined as members since the community was launched in 2007.
At the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, the flagship event of the community, they join their peers to shape and define an agenda of growth with fresh ideas, innovative business models and new technologies. This year the meeting will take place in Tianjin, People’s Republic of China, 27-28 September 2008.

Some of the typical indicators of these companies are:

    * Expanding outside their traditional boundaries
    * Experience strong growth rates
    * Have revenues typically between US$ 100 million and US$ 5 billion
    * Have demonstrated leadership in a particular industry
    * Have an outstanding executive leadership
