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. During the 2026 gathering in Davos, we continued the dialogue and innovation to find solutions to the world’s most challenging supply chain issues.
Theme: How can we unlock new sources of growth?
Risks by the Numbers
The Global Risks Report 2026 offers fresh insights into the evolving landscape of global risks in both the near and long term. How is the perception of risk shifting over time, as crises become increasingly interconnected and frequent?

Exiger returned to USA House as an Eagle partner, building on our participation from the venue’s inaugural year. USA House served as the official U.S. venue at Davos and the global kickoff of America’s 250th anniversary, hosted in partnership with Freedom 250.
Throughout the week, U.S. government leaders, industry executives, and global partners convened around competitiveness, security, and leadership. Exiger executive conversations at USA House centered on how technology, data, and supply chain intelligence underpin resilience, accountability, and leadership across:
- Artificial intelligence
- Energy and critical minerals
- Space, national security and defense
Executives from Exiger led two Main Stage and Delegate Lounge panels:
Brandon Daniels
Brandon is Chief Executive Officer of Exiger and a World Economic Forum Governor, where he contributes to industry dialogue on AI, supply chain resilience, and global risk.
Kit Conklin
Kit is Senior Vice President of Risk & Compliance at Exiger and a former advisor to the U.S. House Select Committee on China.
Boardroom to Battlefield: Winning the AI Tempo War for Economic and National Security
This panel brought together senior AI leadership, defense and industry operators, capital allocators, and workforce architects to examine how the United States is rebuilding the infrastructure of high-velocity innovation — from the boardroom to the battlefield. The discussion focused on what it takes to move from concept to credible, delivering real-world capability at unprecedented speed, without sacrificing assurance, resilience, or trust.

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.
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.
Exiger + With Honor
Exiger joined partners at With Honor for the 5th Annual Bipartisan Congressional Delegation reception.
The discussion featured Ukrainian MP Sasha Ustinova, with remarks from Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels and With Honor CEO Rye Barcott, focused on the work ahead and what service requires in moments of consequence.
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.
