PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the World Economic Forum (the Forum)
PwC and the Forum have been strategic partners since the mid-1980s. We support the Forum in its mission of creating a global community of leaders who are committed to improving the state of the world. At the Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, prominent individuals from the worlds of business, religion, government, culture and society meet to discuss global, regional and industry priorities, as well as emerging risks and how to address them.

As a strategic partner, PwC is also a knowledge provider for both the Annual Meeting at Davos, and at selected regional summits conducted by the World Economic Forum throughout each year. In an effort to support the participants prepare for the sessions taking place at the Annual Meeting, PwC developed KnowledgeConcierge, an innovative knowledge Web site that provides programming information as well as briefings and key data for the main topics of the meeting.
