Partnership in action | The theme of the 2024 meeting was "Rebuilding trust". The first step towards achieving this goal is fostering meaningful connections and engaging with partners. World challenges cannot be solved in isolation – global cooperation is key. |

Closing words from the ISO Secretary-General |
| The organization's mission to "make lives easier, safer, and better" resonated throughout the Davos week.
