Every January, the world leaders gather in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. It’s a place where ideas collide, partnerships are forged, and the future is debated. Yet behind the headlines about geopolitics and innovation, there’s a quieter force shaping these conversations: standards.
This year, the World Economic Forum 2026, being held in Davos from January 19–23, spotlights global cooperation, innovation, and resilience. Major Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) are playing a crucial role in shaping these discussions. Why? Because without standards, the bold visions being discussed there—clean energy, digital trust, sustainable infrastructure—remain just that: visions.
This year’s theme, “A Spirit of Dialogue”, focuses on cooperation in a contested world, unlocking new sources of growth, investing in people, and strengthening sustainability.
Key Highlights
- Global Cooperation: Renewing trust and strengthening alliances amid geopolitical tensions.
- Economic Growth: Unlocking new opportunities through innovation and standards-driven frameworks.
- Technology & Sustainability: Advancing clean energy, smart infrastructure, and digital governance through global standards.
These priorities demonstrate the critical role of standards in enabling progress across industries worldwide. While ISO, BSI, IEC, IEEE, and other SDOs set the frameworks at a global level, we make them accessible and actionable worldwide. From energy and infrastructure to healthcare and cybersecurity, BSB Edge delivers the tools that help organizations stay compliant, competitive, and future-ready.
