World Prosperity Forum in Zürich
Join the Heartland Institute from January 19–23, 2026 as we bring together international leaders and policymakers for five days of groundbreaking discussions on freedom, markets, and human flourishing. Watch live daily at 3:00 PM CET (9:00 AM EST).
A Global Alternative to Davos
The Heartland Institute hosts the World Prosperity Forum January 19–23 in Zurich, Switzerland, bringing together international leaders and policymakers to challenge the globalist, leftist agenda advanced each year at the World Economic Forum.
While the World Economic Forum promotes a centralized, top-down vision for the global economy, the World Prosperity Forum advances a prosperity-focused, freedom-focused vision rooted in free markets, individual liberty, and rising living standards. The World Prosperity Forum will coincide with, and present a clear alternative to, the World Economic Forum taking place on those same dates in Davos, Switzerland.
