The Global Project Management Forum aims to empower women, professionals, and ambitious youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in project management. This is achieved by highlighting key topics in the economy, foresight and governance, work methods and value chains, large-scale projects and sustainable social impact, digital transformation, uses of artificial intelligence, soft skills, and other related topics in project management. It supports the global sustainability system and empowers global leadership.
