10 Quotes by Klaus Schwab
Klaus Schwab, a German economist and engineer, has been a driving force behind the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its mission to address global economic challenges. His foresight and commitment to shaping the world's economic landscape led to the creation of the WEF in 1971, providing a platform for world leaders, business executives, and thought leaders to collaborate on pressing issues. Schwab's concept of "stakeholder capitalism," which emphasizes the importance of businesses considering not only shareholders but also wider societal impacts, has gained significant traction in discussions about the role of corporations in a changing world. Under his leadership, the WEF has evolved to address a wide range of global challenges, from economic inequality to climate change. Schwab's vision and dedication have made a lasting impact on the way governments, businesses, and organizations collaborate to create a more inclusive and sustainable global economy.
