STOCKHOLM ROYAL PALACE • 13 OCTOBER 2026

Global Child Forum
2026

Placing children at the heart of business decisions that will define the next decade




A Royal Anniversary Edition

The future is being decided now

We gather global leaders and decision-makers at the Royal Palace in Stockholm to shape the future of resilient companies and societies — and to define why children’s rights must be at the core of that transformation.

The next economy will be built by the CEOs who put children at the centre of strategy, and the investors with the conviction to back them.

Forum 2026. The Royal Palace, Stockholm. 13 October.

Hosted on behalf of Their Majesties, the King and Queen of Sweden — marking His Majesty The King’s 80th birthday and seventeen years of Royal patronage since 2009.

Forum 2026 is built for CEOs, Chairs, Owners, Founders, Investors and Funders with the authority to define what comes next.

Let’s set the standard for business together now.
