OUR STORY
A Forum Built on Global Collaboration
The Global Economic Forum (GEF) Global Platform has evolved significantly from 2022 to 2026, beginning with Thailand Top Wellness World 2022 (TTWW 2022), which established a strong foundation for international dialogue and collaboration in the wellness sector. In 2023, the platform expanded through TTWW 2023, strengthening cross-sector engagement and increasing global participation. By 2024, it scaled to a regional level with the Thailand Wellness Asia Summit (TWAS 2024), bringing together leaders across Asia for broader collaboration and impact. In 2025, the platform transformed into a multi-sector global initiative with the 1st CHG Global Summits, integrating seven key pillars to drive cross-industry innovation and partnerships. Building on this momentum, 2026 marks a strategic evolution into the 2nd Global Economic Forum Annual Meeting (GEF-AM-BKK 2026), a premier global economic platform uniting leaders, investors, and policymakers across eight core pillars to drive real investment, international collaboration, and sustainable global growth.
