The World Forum for Science-Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WFSIE) is a transformative global initiative committed to redefining the relationship between science and society by employing scientific outputs to impact communities, solve pressing problems, and advance development agendas. WFSIE was founded by Prof. Amal Amin, Professor of Polymers/Nanotechnology at the National Research Centre in Egypt, in 2024, inspired by discussions with stakeholders worldwide from diverse organizations and networks, to serve as a global platform for innovation, research management, and entrepreneurship—shaping a future where science builds an integrated, multi- and transdisciplinary ecosystem in response to today’s most urgent global challenges.
WFSIE is powered by Science for Humanity – Global Society, Women in Science Without Borders and Traces & Dreams AB. These organizations share the belief that the world urgently needs new spaces where knowledge, ethics, creativity, and cooperation come together to imagine and build sustainable futures. Together, these organizations bring a wealth of global experience and local insight to co-create a forum that not only bridges knowledge and application but also fosters inclusive, transdisciplinary, and human-centered innovation.
WFSIE is rooted in the belief that the challenges of our time demand not only innovation but also imagination, cooperation, the courage to build together, and equitable partnerships. Through this transdisciplinary and human-centered approach, WFSIE brings science out of the lab and innovation and entrepreneurship out of the profit-only mindset and into a new narrative of shared futures.
Additionally, WFSIE recognizes the role of science diplomacy and equitable global partnerships as vital tools for peace, trust-building, and resilience. In a world facing division and planetary risk, science can serve as a bridge across countries, cultures, and conflicts, enabling open dialogue, equitable partnerships, and shared solutions.
