World Leaders Summit 2025
The World Leaders Summit 2025, organized by the World Leaders Forum, concluded in Davos after two transformative days of dialogue, collaboration, and recognition. The event brought together over 700-800 global leaders, visionaries, policymakers, innovators, and changemakers from across continents to reimagine the future of leadership and collective global progress.
Held from September 16th to 18th, the summit featured a full day dedicated to high-impact panel discussions, leadership dialogues, and roundtable sessions addressing some of the most pressing global challenges - from sustainability and innovation to inclusive growth and global governance. The discussions underscored the urgency of moving beyond rhetoric toward tangible impact and measurable outcomes.
The second day culminated in the prestigious World Leaders Awards Ceremony, an evening dedicated to honoring individuals and organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary leadership, innovation, and humanitarian excellence in shaping a better world. Awardees represented diverse sectors - including technology, education, diplomacy, and social impact - symbolizing the universal nature of leadership in the 21st century.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Mr. Vikash Sorout, Chairman of the World Leaders Forum, emphasized the Forum's vision of translating ideas into action.
"Our aim is to change the future for the upcoming generation," said Mr. Sorout. "We don't believe in words; we believe in actions. The true measure of leadership lies not in promises made, but in the impact created. The World Leaders Summit is a testament to that belief."
The World Leaders Summit in Davos continues to strengthen its position as one of the world's most influential gatherings for leadership, diplomacy, and global cooperation, inspiring leaders to move from dialogue to decisive, world-changing action.
As the curtains closed on an inspiring edition, the World Leaders Forum reaffirmed its mission to unite leaders across borders, industries, and ideologies - empowering them to co-create sustainable solutions for the generations to come.
