The latest economic forecasts show the global economy approaching a soft landing. Growth is in recovery, headline inflation is easing and the rapid pace of technological innovation in technologies such as AI is pushing industries forward. But risks and tensions remain. Only with buy-in from all stakeholders and the right levels of cooperation can the next frontiers for growth be unlocked.

To respond to the fast-evolving global landscape, the World Economic Forum will convene the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, People’s Republic of China, on 25-27 June 2024. The event will gather over 1,500 high-level leaders from business, government, civil society and international organizations, as well as prominent entrepreneurs, innovators and academics to generate collective insights and deployable solutions.

This meeting in Asia, a region that continues to drive two-thirds of all global growth, will enable leaders to collaborate and foster ways to spur and maintain positive economic momentum.

To achieve these goals, the programme will focus on six key themes, explore them here.
