Heartland Institute
Date: 15 January 2026
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.
Daily Livestreams
Watch all five days of the World Prosperity Forum live. Each day features powerful speakers discussing freedom, markets, and human flourishing.
