We are pleased to announce that IFS has joined the World Economic Forum (WEF), the international organization for public-private cooperation that brings together leaders from government, business, and civil society to improve the state of the world.


This collaboration places IFS alongside leading technology and industrial organizations and provides a unique opportunity to help shape global conversations on the future of industrial operations at a time of unprecedented change.


Why This Matters


The World Economic Forum’s mission closely aligns with IFS’s purpose: enabling organizations to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. As a trusted partner to the industries that keep the world running, including energy and utilities, aerospace and defense, manufacturing, construction and engineering, and telecommunications; IFS brings deep, practical expertise in Industrial AI, digital transformation, and operational excellence.


By joining the WEF, IFS will:


Lead in Industrial AI


Showcase how AI-driven innovation is transforming asset-intensive industries—from predictive maintenance and asset lifecycle management to workforce optimization—helping organizations improve efficiency, resilience, and performance at scale.


Share and Learn from Best Practices


Engage with initiatives such as the Global Lighthouse Network, connecting with some of the world’s most advanced industrial operations. This neutral, collaborative platform enables the exchange of real-world insights and demonstrates how technology-led transformation delivers measurable business and sustainability outcomes.


Help Shape Global Industry Dialogue


From the energy transition to supply-chain resilience, WEF discussions influence global priorities and policy direction. IFS’s participation ensures that the perspectives of industrial innovators and the practical needs of our customers, are represented in these critical conversations.


Accelerate Sustainability and ESG Outcomes


IFS will actively contribute to the WEF’s Sustainability Community, with Sophie Graham, Chief Sustainability Officer at IFS, representing the company. This engagement reinforces our commitment to helping customers achieve credible ESG goals through traceable data, operational transparency, and AI-enabled efficiency improvements.


What This Means for Our Customers


This partnership is about influence, impact, and innovation. By joining the World Economic Forum, IFS strengthens its role as a trusted advisor to organizations navigating complexity, disruption, and rising sustainability expectations.


Together with the WEF community, we will help shape the next frontier of industrial operations, powered by Industrial AI, so our customers can remain agile, competitive, and sustainable in a world where resilience and accountability are no longer optional.
