The World Economic Forum’s Industry Communities bring leaders together to make sense of shared challenges and advance the transition toward more sustainable, inclusive and resilient industry ecosystems. Through trusted, year-round collaboration, these communities help translate innovation into new sources of value, supporting growth that benefits businesses, communities and the planet.

The Industry Communities provide a platform to exchange insight, anticipate change and explore practical pathways for responsible industry transformation. They focus on five core objectives:

1. Advance shared industry agendas. Convene trusted communities to build common understanding of industry priorities and emerging challenges, creating a basis for coordinated action.

2. Strengthen future preparedness. Foster industry resilience through forward-looking knowledge exchanges involving cross-industry and public sector stakeholders, ensuring readiness for upcoming challenges.

3. Enable innovation and adaptation. Explore pathways to accelerate innovation and technology adoption by reimagining business and operating models, with technology as a key enabler of transformation.

4. Catalyse collaborative action. Incubate and amplify transformative ideas by connecting partners, industries, Forum Centres and regional teams to develop practical, scalable solutions.

5. Support the development of common standards. Contribute industry insight to the development of shared frameworks and standards that enable consistent measurement of progress across sectors.
