The World Economic Forum, also known as the "Davos Forum" because it was first held in Davos, Switzerland, was founded in 1971. It is an unofficial international organization with the purpose of studying and discussing the problems existing in the world economic field and promoting international economic cooperation and exchanges. It is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Since then, with the continuous expansion of the influence of the forum and the improvement of the level of participants, it has been regarded as an "unofficial international economic summit" and one of the most important unofficial gathering places for world politicians, business people and leaders of civil society and social organizations to discuss world economic issues.
