The World Capital Institute (WCI) Annual International Conference, also known as the World Capital Institute and the New Club of Paris Annual International Conference, successor of the Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS), formerly the Knowledge Cities Summit (KCS or KC Summit), the annual conference of the World Capital Institute (WCI Annual Conference), reaches beyond cities to regions and wider system change. It brings not only profile and prestige to the hosts but enables active engagement with leading global thinkers and practitioners across all aspects of knowledge-based development.
The Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS) made an important reminder that ‘knowledge’ is the key notion in the 21st Century development. It aimed to contribute to the discussion on the importance and trends of knowledge-based development theory and practice. Academics, professional practitioners, civil servants and policy-makers of the world were included in the discussions from a wide range of disciplines to share their knowledge and experiences with the summit delegates. In addition to significant academic and professional presentations, the Summit hasl also provideed opportunities for practical exercises in workshops and small group sessions in innovative formats.
Summit themes included: Knowledge-based (urban) development; Knowledge-based economy and value generation; Knowledge cities, regions and societies; Knowledge cluster, enterprise and organisations; Knowledge-intensive service activities; Knowledge assets and capital systems; Knowledge workers and creative class; Creativity, innovation, technology and learning communities; Sustainable (urban) development.
KCWS was held in conjunction with the annual Most Admired Knowledge City (MAKCi) Award Ceremony. Since 2020 the award was under a renewal process to reflect the climate crisis.
