Established in October 2000, the World Knowledge Forum gathers more than 150 business and opinion leaders around the world ranging from environmental and international organizations to world's biggest corporations and institutions. These leaders predict the future and discuss possible solutions for the problems which are already, or might become, an issue. The main aim is to highlight the importance of knowledge sharing towards a balanced prosperity of the global economy. The WKF is hosted by Maeil Business Newspaper, South Korea's premier business daily. The conference is the largest of its kind in Asia, and since 2000 over 3000 local and global leaders from business, government and academic sectors have attended annually.
