For decades, the Crans Montana Forum has established itself as an exceptional diplomatic platform,
where heads of state and government, ministers, political decision-makers, major economic players,
and opinion leaders meet, in compliance with essential ethics, to shape major global balances
and consolidate international cooperation.
A true laboratory of ideas and a major lever of influence,
it embodies a diplomacy of dialogue and peace, while fostering strategic partnerships
at the intersection of political, economic, and social issues.
Its unique international influence and the high regard it has enjoyed for 40 years
have made it the now unique crossroads between global governance and the business world.
