How does the GCN contribute to the World Economic Forums mission to improve the state of the world?
Advanced economic development is extremely difficult without sustained economic growth, and this requires robust national competitiveness. The Forum’s competitiveness reports guide business leaders when making investment decisions. They are also invaluable tools for policy-makers who are seeking to address the obstacles to economic growth and competitiveness. Through various activities, the GCN serves as a platform for discussion between policy-makers, the business community and academia – all working together to increase competitiveness within countries and across regions.
