19-23 January 2026

Davos-Klosters, Switzerland

World Economic Forum Annual Meeting

Global supply chains sit at the center of economic stability, national security, and geopolitical competition, yet their weaknesses are increasingly tested—by conflict, coercive trade, and human rights abuse.

Exiger joined the World Economic Forum four years ago to address these challenges. At this year’s gathering in Davos, we continue the dialogue and innovation to find solutions to the world’s most challenging supply chain issues.

Ending Forced Labor in Supply Chains

Exiger Unveils Free AI Tool for Companies to Find Forced Labor in Their Supply Chains

This free AI tool instantly identifies companies connected to state-sponsored forced labor.

Built on the world’s largest database of its kind—20 billion records—forcedlabor.ai makes risk visibility available to all.

Get early access

Read the press release

Forced labor remains one of the most entrenched challenges in global supply chains, affecting an estimated 28 million people worldwide through practices such as debt bondage, exploitation of migrant workers, wage theft, and state-imposed labor. These abuses persist not from lack of intent, but from fragmented data across business, government, and civil society.

Global Data Partnership Against Forced Labour

The World Economic Forum’s Global Data Partnership Against Forced Labour is addressing this gap by developing a trusted, federated data infrastructure—an intelligence layer designed to enable collective action while respecting governance and privacy.

As the founding supply chain technology provider, Exiger contributes data and technology expertise to help surface risk hidden deep within global value chains.

On January 20, the Partnership released Harnessing Data and Intelligence for Collective Advantage: Ending Forced Labour in Global Supply Chains, examining how data-driven collaboration can close transparency gaps and accelerate global progress. Exiger is a proud contributor to this report.

Counterfeit fashion is a booming illegal industry that is impossible to avoid. From fake football kits on our high streets to knock-off luxury handbags being sold on social media, these fakes tell a much darker story than the bargains they appear to be.

Across the world, men, women and children are hidden in plain sight forced to produce, distribute and sell fake fashion. Exploitation exists end to end in fake fashion supply chains, and in the most severe cases, in the form of forced work, child labour and human trafficking.

Through their Fake Fashion & Forced Labour programme, The Anti-Slavery Collective aims to address this human rights scandal through a coordinated response working across policy reform, operational enforcement, public awareness and corporate accountability.

Learn how counterfeit fashion intersects with organised crime and labour exploitation in Fake Fashion: A Human Rights Scandal. Exiger is a proud contributor to this report.

NGO Collaboration

Exiger works with leading NGOs including Slave-Free Alliance | Hope for Justice, Transparency International, and the Anti-Slavery Collective to ensure that technology amplifies human rights expertise, awareness, and supply chain visibility.

We also have a longstanding partnership alongside With Honor, an organization that works to bridge divides and foster collaboration in Congress through principled veteran leadership.

Revealing the Real Scale of Modern Slavery

How can data-sharing partnerships strengthen accountability in the fight against forced labor and modern slavery?

Exiger CEO and World Economic Forum Governor Brandon Daniels speaks at the WEF 2025 panel “Revealing the Real Scale of Modern Slavery” to examine the true scale of modern slavery and the data gaps that allow it to persist.

Critical Minerals

Exiger’s Critical Minerals Intelligence Hub reveals how hidden dependencies on minerals like antimony, gallium, and germanium threaten U.S. defense, energy, and tech sectors amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

Explore how AI-driven supply chain mapping can help your organization identify vulnerabilities, comply with evolving regulations, and secure alternative sources for critical minerals before disruptions strike.
