World Future Intelligence Forum (WFIF 2026)

4–5 November 2026
United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok

Advancing Global Dialogue for Responsible AI and Sustainable Transformation

The World Future Intelligence Forum (WFIF) is the flagship annual event IP created exclusively by the Global ESG Leadership Organization (ESGIN), integrating high-level dialogue, cross-sector commitments, and a systematic body of knowledge.

Through the global Future Intelligence Hub network, together with the continuous cycle of the Ethical Business Transformation Commitment and its accompanying Flagship Report & Whitepaper, the forum translates global consensus on AI, ESG, education transformation, and capital reallocation into concrete action at the city level.

The forum is built around three core directions:

  • Future-Ready Solutions
  • Ethical Business and Inclusive Growth
  • Cross-Border Collaboration and Partnership

Over two days, global leaders come together not simply to hear trend analysis, but to co-create forward-looking solutions, deepen cross-border collaboration, and turn vision into concrete, trackable commitments.

UN-Listed Initiatives Behind WFIF 2026

WFIF is anchored by a number of ESGIN initiatives formally listed on United Nations platforms, forming the core of its credibility:

UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance
  • Responsible AI for Business — helping enterprises align with AI governance principles
  • Ethical Economy Accelerator (EEA) — a global framework for AI ethics
  • Future Intelligence Hub (FIH) — a global network of city-level hubs driving AI-era capacity building
  • Responsible Digital for Youth (RDY) — youth digital governance
UN Doha Solutions Platform for Social Development

Originating from the Second World Summit for Social Development (Doha, November 2025).

  • Capital with Purpose (Registration ID62) — impact fund roundtables and an ethical investment ecosystem
  • GROW (Global Regeneration for Women Leaders, Registration ID85) — women's leadership empowerment

Frequently asked questions

Q1. Who is eligible to apply for WFIF 2026?

The Forum is designed for decision-makers and influential leaders from business, investment, government, and international organizations. Participation is capped at 250 attendees, and every application is reviewed by the Organizing Committee based on professional background, partnership potential, and quality of participation.

Q2. What is the application process?

The process has three stages:

  1. Apply — Submit your application, outlining your background and reason for participating.
  2. Confirm — The Organizing Committee reviews your application; upon approval, fees are communicated and payment completed to confirm your place.
  3. Get Ready — Complete UN venue registration, receive your entry QR code, and submit your Partnership & Opportunities profile for pre-Forum matching.
Q3. Can I attend for just one day?

Single-day attendance is possible, though we recommend participating in the full two days. The Forum is designed for in-depth, sustained engagement rather than a one-off visit, and includes an evening networking dinner — attending in full is where participants gain the most value.

Yes, this applies to all participants — whether Delegate, Speaker, or Enterprise Partner. Accepted participants are responsible for arranging and covering their own visa application, flights, and accommodation. The organizer does not provide any subsidy or assistance for

All fees are non-refundable once confirmed. Approval triggers a series of administrative processes on our end — including UN venue registration, delegate documentation, and Partnership & Opportunities Spotlight coordination — so once a place is confirmed, it cannot be cancelled or refunded.
