Geneva Security Forum 2007
Security in its broadest sense has become one of themost central issues
facing the world today, from terrorism toprotection of infrastructure to personal
security issues and information security. The age of globalization has witnessed
not only increasing interdependence and mobility of capital, goods and people but
also the growing interconnectedness of global challenges and their diverse effects
on citizens everywhere. This interdependence, highlighted by technological advances
resulting in a web of interrelated networks, has increased vulnerability to security
threats. The exchange of information and knowledge across borders has become critical
in the development of cooperative and effective international responses to these
challenges.
Building on the tradition of Switzerland, and Geneva, of bringing multi-stakeholder
groups together on neutral ground, the Geneva Security Forum will focus on new threats,
future security challenges and the integral role of IT, with the goal of finding
interoperable solutions that reach across cultural, religious,economic and geographical
divides. The interconnectedness of today’s security threats requires a coordinated
response involving the key players from relevant sectors of business, government,
intergovernmental organizations, academia and civil society. Bridges need to be
built and compromises found if we are to build a safer world for our children. The
Geneva Security Forum is optimally placed to perform this critical and urgent global
service.
The Geneva Security Forum will be an innovative security event consisting of:
- a high-level forum focusing annually on important, urgent and future security challenges,
providing a platform for debate and characterized by forward-looking, outside the
box thinking
- a showcase of security solutions providing an opportunity for companies and organizations
to display new advancements directly related to the content of the forum
- training and educational sessions expanding on the mesaddressed in the forum, providing
an opportunity to focus on specific issues in greater detail
