World Economic Forum Managing Director David Aikman said: “Hope is a dynamic group with clear potential to shape the future across the many markets in which it operates and so is a perfect fit for our GGC community.”

Formed in 2007, the GGC seeks out businesses it believes have the potential to not only become leaders in their field, but also to drive greater economic and social change.
