The Future of Growth Initiative

From the Growth We Have to the Growth We Need  

Economic growth is an essential foundation for improving living standards for people globally.

Launched at the Annual Meeting in Davos in 2024, the Future of Growth Initiative is a campaign to recalibrate the global conversation on growth and support decision-makers in achieving a better balance between the quantity and quality of growth.

Our priority is clear: to promote and support the transition from the growth we have to the growth we need—growth that is not only faster but also more innovative, inclusive, sustainable and resilient.

We drive impact through the Initiative’s comprehensive ecosystem, spanning insights and analysis, stakeholder engagement and national-level policy consultation to advance robust, balanced economic growth.
