Investopedia explains 'World Economic Forum'

The most popular event held by the association takes place in Geneva, Switzerland. All events are funded by the member companies. Membership is considered when a company goes global and reaches $5 billion. Each member pays a membership fee and a meeting fee. While not obligated, as opinions are biased and facts are not verified, world leaders and policymakers often use the discussion notes in their plans.
