Over 400 leaders, senior figures and experts from across the global society attended the two-day event.
The Forum aims at a strong participation of women, as well as of representatives of developing countries, which receive sponsorship if necessary. Youth participation is organized in association with the Forum’s own Youth Forum, held immediately prior to the annual forum, and in collaboration with partner organizations.
