ECP Spring 2026 – Industrial Transformation, Greater China

The World Economic Forum, committed to move the world forward together, is the international organization for public-private cooperation.

The Forum engages the foremost political, business and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Why we are recruiting

The Industry Transformation team drives multistakeholder collaboration to accelerate the decarbonization and green transformation of industrial systems worldwide. In Greater China, we focus on enhancing the impact of our strategic collaborations, particularly through the Transitioning Industrial Clusters (TIC) Initiative and related workstreams that tackle industry decarbonization and hard-to-abate sectors, including initiatives such as the First Movers Coalition (FMC).

Launched by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture and EPRI, the TIC Initiative aims to catalyze the decarbonization of industrial clusters by convening companies and public institutions to set ambitious emission reduction goals and roadmaps. Its mission is to align key stakeholders in securing funding, regulatory support, and launching full-scale transition activities—driving economic growth, creating employment, and reducing CO₂ emissions.

The First Movers Coalition advances the most critical, emerging climate technologies by leveraging members' collective purchasing power.  By translating member commitments into the world’s largest, credible demand signal, the FMC accelerates the adoption of emerging climate technologies to decarbonize the world's heavy-emitting sectors.

We are now seeking a dedicated team member to support stakeholder engagement, project execution, and knowledge dissemination in this critical and fast-evolving field.
