Born in Ravensburg, Germany in 1938, Schwab was a little-known professor of economics at the University of Geneva when he founded the European Management Forum, which formed the foundation of the WEF, in 1971. Some non-governmental organizations in Europe claim that the WEF is "totally dependent" on the nearly 1,000 companies that support its activities.
