Which country hosted the 2023 World Economic forum meeting ?
Switzerland
The World Economic Forum meets at Davos in Switzerland — option 4.
The 2023 meeting. The annual meeting was held at Davos-Klosters from 16 to 20 January 2023 under the theme “Cooperation in a Fragmented World”. It was the first full return to the January slot after the pandemic, which had forced the 2021 meeting online and pushed the 2022 one to May.
| Detail | Fact |
|---|---|
| Organisation | World Economic Forum, an international NGO |
| Founded | 1971, by Klaus Schwab |
| Headquarters | Cologny, near Geneva, Switzerland |
| Annual meeting | Davos, a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, each January |
| Theme in 2023 | Cooperation in a Fragmented World |
Why the venue almost never changes. The Forum is a Swiss body with its headquarters near Geneva, and Davos has hosted the annual meeting since the beginning. The question is therefore really asking whether the candidate knows where the WEF belongs; “Davos” has become a synonym for the meeting itself.
What the Forum publishes. Several reports quoted constantly in examinations come from it — the Global Competitiveness Report, the Global Gender Gap Report, the Global Risks Report, the Energy Transition Index and the Travel and Tourism Development Index.
A distinction worth drawing. The WEF is a private foundation that convenes governments, business and civil society; it is not an inter-governmental organisation, has no treaty basis, and its declarations bind nobody. That separates it from bodies such as the IMF, the World Bank or the WTO, with which it is often confused.
Hence, the answer is Switzerland.
