Global Business Week 2026

July 9-17, Davos, Switzerland

https://gbw.forum-expo.org 

In 100 days, hundreds of business families from around the world will gather in Davos for the main business event of the year. 

Global Business Week 2026, a Global Platform of Business Events Built to Advance Trade, Innovation, and International Partnership, will be held in Davos, on 9-17 July. 

Global Business Week 2026 stands as one of the world’s most distinctive international business platforms — a global ecosystem created not merely for meetings, but for action, influence, and long-term international cooperation. 

Global Business Week 2026 was created three decades ago by a group of international partners at the initiative of Global Development Alliance and World Education, Science and Innovation Organisation (Scotland). It attracts active entrepreneurs from CCIs, business clubs, and embassies interested in powerful business networking to gain the latest information on innovation, technology, franchising, investment, partnerships, and stimulating global trade. 

ECOSYSTEM

What makes Global Business Week 2026 truly unique is its format. Unlike traditional forums and conferences that are limited to a series of speeches and formal sessions, Global Business Week is designed as a multidimensional international business experience. It is not simply a business meeting — it is a platform for building real economic bridges between countries, sectors, and people. 

Global Business Week hosts dozens of regional business forums and business missions across five continents throughout the year. These events serve as dynamic regional hubs where local and international entrepreneurs connect, explore emerging markets, share expertise, and generate new cross-border opportunities. Then, once a year, representatives from all these international communities gather for the flagship edition — the world’s premier business week.

8-in-1 FORMAT

This annual gathering is the culmination of a year-round international process. It brings together entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, policymakers, educators, innovators, and institutional leaders from around the world in one destination for a concentrated week of business dialogue, strategic networking, and international visibility. 

For this reason, Global Business Week 2026 is structured unlike any other global event. Its format may run from a minimum of three days to a maximum of eight days, with each day dedicated to a different business theme. This flexible and expansive structure allows the platform to address the full spectrum of modern global business priorities — from innovation and trade, technology and education to women’s leadership, investment, diplomacy, and international partnerships. 

Each day of Global Business Week is designed to create value through focused engagement. Rather than offering a one-dimensional conference experience, the platform gives participants access to a sequence of specialized forums, business missions, presentations, country showcases, networking opportunities, and strategic meetings tailored to different sectors and interests. 

This structure reflects a deeper philosophy: global business today requires not only information, but integration. It requires ecosystems, trusted relationships, and platforms where ideas can move beyond discussion and become partnerships, deals, missions, and long-term international projects. 

Global Business Week 2026 responds precisely to that need. This unique 8-in-1 global business experience designed for entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors and family business owners includes:

  • Davos World Business Forum
  • Startup World Cup Championship
  • World Education Forum
  • World Woman Forum
  • Global Country Day & Parade of Nations
  • Award Ceremony & Gala Dinner
  • VIP International Business Networking
  • Business Retreat (after business forums) 

It serves as a meeting point for those who understand that the future of trade, innovation, and international growth will be shaped by collaboration across borders and by platforms capable of uniting business ambition with global perspective. 

As the world enters a new era of economic transformation, geopolitical shifts, and technological acceleration, Global Business Week 2026 offers a timely and powerful answer: a premium international platform where business leaders do not simply discuss the future — they help build it. 

Global Business Week 2026 invites entrepreneurs, policymakers, chambers of commerce, business associations, embassies, investors, educational institutions, and international partners from around the world to become part of this global movement and to join the next chapter of one of the world’s most ambitious business platforms. 

We would be honoured to have You and your delegation among Global Business Week 2026 participants.
