The World Knowledge Forum (WKF; Korean: 세계지식포럼) is a fete of knowledge, the biggest in Asia. It is also known as Asia’s Davos Forum (World Economic Forum). Established in October 2000, the World Knowledge Forum gathers more than 200 business and opinion leaders from around the world ranging from environmental and international organizations to world’s biggest corporations and institutions. These leaders predict the future and discuss possible solutions for problems that are already, or might become, an issue. The main aim is to highlight the importance of knowledge sharing towards a balanced prosperity of the global economy.

Since 2000 in conjunction with the Korea Knowledge Innovation (KKI) Award Ceremony, until 2010 known as the Korea Knowledge Management (KKM) Award Ceremony. Since 2012 the KKI Award is part of the ‘Korea Knowledge Award’ which is as well including the Knowledge Management Best Practice Award launched by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security in 2004.

From 2002-2013 in conjunction with the Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) Award Ceremony.
