About Knowledge partnerships

"Working as the Knowledge Partner to major international business forums, helping in shaping the agendas and in capturing and sharing the resulting dialogues, is something which we take a great deal of pride in PwC . Our active support for the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, the World Economic Forum in Davos, and the APEC Summit over many years testifies to our strong commitment to being part of the process of developing international business, as well as specifically to strengthening Russia's role in the global arena and sharing our expertise and wealth of experience with others. Our goal is to bring to the fore the most important themes and opportunities on the agenda of global business today and make sure that Russia is right at the heart of that debate”.

World Economic Forum in Davos

Over many years, PwC has served as the Knowledge Partner of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. At the 2013 World Economic Forum, in its role as the Knowledge Partner, PwC presented the 16th Annual Global CEO Survey.

In keeping with tradition, PwC presented the survey results in Davos to 100 journalists from 25 countries. In addition, PwC Lounge hosted to a roundtable discussion with key CEOs from all over the world to give World Economic Forum delegates a more detailed view of these business leaders' future plans and strategies.

Moreover, PwC prepared an extensive analysis for World Economic Forum sessions. At www.knowledgeconcierge.com, World Economic Forum speakers and delegates could learn the latest news and information on session themes and access materials for preparing their own presentations.

In 2013 PwC Russia was a Partner of the House of Russia in Davos, which was the key meeting point of Russian government and business in Davos.
