Our Purpose

The Davos Neurodiversity Summit (DNS) aims to provide a unique perspective during the World Economic Forum, representing the diverse neurominority global community. Through engaging discussions, we advocate for inclusivity and innovation that leverages the creativity and resilience of neurodistinct individuals.

A global coalition dedicated to creating inclusive progress.

The Davos Neurodiversity Summit (DNS) is a coalition of neurodistinct leaders and influencers that convenes annually during the World Economic Forum to amplify the many voices of the neurodiversity community, representing nearly 1 in 5 people worldwide. The mission of the DNS is to bring a unique and vital perspective to the forum’s major themes, offering insights shaped by diverse ways of thinking and problem-solving. By engaging in discussions and commentary, this group seeks to ensure that global strategies for economic, social, and technological progress are inclusive and equitable, reflecting the strengths and needs of a neurodiverse world. Through their contributions, they work to challenge traditional paradigms, advocating for innovation that values and leverages the inherent creativity and resilience within the neurodivergent population.
