Force for Good at the Doha Forum, 2022

Our World

"Global challenges throughout the twentieth century have forced governments to forge unlikely alliances and advance inventive solutions to rising threats. A return to the past is not a viable option; the only path ahead for the international community is to adapt and even more importantly to transform for the New Era that we all want and that humanity needs."

Message from the Doha Forum

“Investing for sustainable impact is an imperative because it is the right things to do, morally and commercially, it allows us to drive mass inclusion of the world’s people in education, technology, the work place, healthcare and the financial system and our work shows imaginative and innovative businesses do it well for profit. It is therefore critical to invest to prepare for the transition we need to make to a new digital sustainable era for 2050 and for the nearly 10 billion people expected to be living in the world.”

Ketan Patel, Chairman, Force for Good
