Klaus Martin Schwab ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; born 30 March 1938) is a German mechanical engineer, economist, and founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He served as the WEF's chairman from 1971 until his resignation in 2025.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Early life and education
Klaus Martin Schwab was born on 30 March 1938, to Eugen Wilhelm Schwab and Erika Epprecht<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> in Ravensburg. His parents had moved from Switzerland to Germany during the Third Reich in order for his father to assume the role of director at Escher Wyss AG, an industrial company and contractor for the Nazi regime.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Interview">Template:Cite news</ref> Although his father was baptized Lutheran,Template:Cn Schwab was raised Catholic.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although he has three Swiss grandparents and two Swiss brothers, he is a citizen of Germany and has declined multiple offers for naturalization, from both Kurt Furgler<ref name=muller/> and Ueli Maurer.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Schwab attended first and second grades at the primary school in the Wädenswil district of Au, Zürich, in Switzerland. After World War II, Schwab attended the Spohn-Gymnasium in Ravensburg until his Abitur in 1957.<ref name=muller>Patrik Müller, Andreas Maurer.

Career
Schwab was professor of business policy at the University of Geneva from 1972 to 2003, and since then has been an honorary professor there.<ref name="three"/> Schwab and his wife Hilde created the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship in 1998.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
World Economic Forum (1971–2025)
In 1971, Schwab founded the European Management Forum, which was renamed as the World Economic Forum in 1987.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Also in 1971, he published {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> In 2003 Schwab appointed José María Figueres CEO of the WEF,<ref name="eater">Template:Cite news</ref> as his successor. In October 2004, Figueres resigned<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> over his undeclared receipt of more than US$900,000 in consultancy fees from the French telecommunications firm Alcatel while he was working at the Forum.<ref name="swi">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="wefs">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2006, Transparency International highlighted this incident in their Global Corruption Report.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Schwab founded the Global Shapers Community in 2011 within the WEF to work with young people in "shaping local, regional and global agendas."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2015, the WEF was formally recognised by the Swiss Government as an "international body".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The phrase Fourth Industrial Revolution was first introduced by a team of scientists developing a high-tech strategy for the German government.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Schwab, as the former executive chairman of the WEF, introduced the phrase to a wider audience in a 2015 article published by Foreign Affairs.<ref name=faff>Template:Cite magazine</ref> "Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution" was the 2016 theme of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.<ref name=marr16>Template:Cite news</ref> On 10 October 2016, the Forum announced the opening of its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in San Francisco.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> This was also subject and title of Schwab's 2016 book.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Schwab includes in this fourth era technologies that combine hardware, software, and biology (cyber-physical systems),<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and emphasises advances in communication and connectivity. Schwab expected this era to be marked by breakthroughs in emerging technologies in fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the internet of things, the industrial internet of things, decentralised consensus, fifth-generation wireless technologies, 3D printing, and fully autonomous vehicles.<ref> {{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In November 2019 on his book tour Schwab met with Vladimir Putin at the annual SPIEF to present to him a copy.<ref name="kru1">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="fspb1">Template:Cite news</ref>
Downfall and resignation (2024–2025)
In June 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported allegations of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct against Schwab by former WEF employees.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The allegations included claims that Schwab engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct, discriminated against a pregnant employee, and ordered mass firing of employees over 50 years of age.
The WEF denied the allegations, stating Schwab "has never made sexual advances toward an employee" and calling the claims "vague and false."
Following additional whistleblower allegations of financial impropriety and research manipulation in 2025, the WEF announced an internal investigation.<ref name="wef1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Schwab resigned as chairman in April 2025 and subsequently filed defamation complaints against anonymous whistleblowers, maintaining his innocence while describing the allegations as "stupid and constructed."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
As author
Schwab wrote about the Fourth Industrial Revolution in a 2016 book.<ref name="4IR">Template:Cite journal</ref> In January 2017, Steven Poole in The Guardian criticised Schwab's Fourth Industrial Revolution book,<ref name="Poole 2017">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> pointing out that "the internet of things" would probably be hackable. He also criticised Schwab for showing that future technologies may be used for good or evil, but not taking a position on the issues, instead offering only vague policy recommendations. The Financial TimesTemplate:' innovation editor found "the clunking lifelessness of the prose" led him to "suspect this book really was written by humans—ones who inhabit a strange twilight world of stakeholders, externalities, inflection points and 'developtory sandboxes'."<ref name="jtft">Template:Cite news</ref> The political scientist Klaus-Gerd Giesen argued that the dominant ideology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is transhumanism.<ref name="giesen17">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="giesen20">Template:Cite book</ref>
Controversies
Salary level and lack of financial transparency
While Schwab declared that excessively high management salaries were "no longer socially acceptable",<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> his own annual salary of about one million Swiss francs (about US$1.2 million) has been repeatedly questioned by the media. The Swiss radio and television corporation SRF mentioned this salary level in the context of ongoing public contributions to the WEF and the fact that the Forum does not pay any federal taxes.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Moreover, the former {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} journalist Jürgen Dunsch made the criticism that the WEF's financial reports were not very transparent since neither income nor expenditures were broken down.<ref name="SZ-money machine">Template:Cite news</ref> Schwab has also drawn ire for mixing the finances of the not-for-profit WEF and other for-profit business ventures. For example, the WEF awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to USWeb in 1998. Yet shortly after the deal went through, Schwab took a board seat at the same company, reaping valuable stock options.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Controversy with Davos municipality
In June 2021, Schwab sharply criticised the "profiteering", "complacency" and "lack of commitment" of the municipality of Davos in relation to the WEF annual meeting. He mentioned that the preparation of the COVID-related meeting in Singapore in 2021/2022<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> had created an alternative to its Swiss host and sees the chance that the annual meeting will stay in Davos at between 40 and 70 per cent.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The Great Reset and conspiracy theories
in June 2020, accompanied by a video message from the then-Prince of Wales, Charles.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Schwab launched the Great Reset, a five-point plan to enhance sustainable economic growth following the global recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Its stated objective is to support recovery from the global pandemic in a manner that emphasises sustainable development. According to Schwab, the intention of the project is to reconsider the meaning of capitalism and capital. While not abandoning capitalism, he proposes to change and possibly move on from some aspects of it, including neoliberalism and free-market fundamentalism.
The Great Reset was polemic from the beginning. It was criticised by commentators for encouraging economic deregulation and expanding the influence of private corporations, particularly multinational corporations, in policymaking at the expense of governments.<ref name="wecke_od">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="intercept120820">Template:Cite news</ref> Others argued that it overemphasised health and exaggerated the ability of a small group of decision-makers to reshape the global economy,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> or that it amounted to crony capitalism.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The initiative also became the focus of conspiracy theories circulated mainly by conservative commentators on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Claims included that the pandemic had been engineered by a secret group to control the global economy,<ref name="BBC20201122" /> that lockdowns were intentionally designed to cause economic collapse,<ref name=":1">Template:Cite news</ref> or that a global elite sought to abolish private property while using vaccines to subjugate populations.<ref name="Zimonjic">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="wecke_od" /> Such theories gained traction when political leaders including U.S. president Joe Biden, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau referred to the idea of a post-pandemic "reset" in public statements.<ref name="BBC20201122" /><ref name="RC_DeRosa_20201118">Template:Cite news</ref>
Awards and honours
Schwab has been conferred with the French Legion of Honour (knight distinction), the Grand Cross with Star of the National Order of Germany, and the Japanese Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun.<ref name="nus award">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He also was awarded the Dan David Prize,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and was recognized by Queen Elizabeth as an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George.<ref name="nus award"/>
