Who are the New Champions

At the core of the "new champions" are a new generation of companies that will fundamentally change the global competitive landscape.  We call them Global Growth Companies. These business champions come primarily from rapidly growing emerging markets, such as China and India, but also include fast movers from developed economies.

In addition to the business new champions, the Forum is identifying and engaging the next generation of global leaders, fast-growing regions, competitive cities and technology pioneers from around the globe. All of the New Champion groups were present and represented at the Annual Meeting of New Champions in Dalian in September 2007.

•  Global Growth Companies are businesses that have demonstrated a clear potential to become leaders in the global economy based on such factors as a company’s business model, growth record, leadership and the markets it serves. Some of the typical indicators of these companies are:

  • Have revenues typically between US$ 100 million and US$ 2 billion
