About Yes/Cities

Local innovation. Global impact.

The Yes/Cities Initiative

Yes/Boston is Boston’s entry into the global Yes/Cities initiative, led globally by the World Economic Forum, which challenges and supports cities to unlock local innovation, impact, and economic opportunity. 

Each city selects a focus for multi-year, cross-sector collaboration and innovation based on its strengths and needs. 

Boston was selected as the third "Yes/City", following San Francisco and Bengaluru. Through Yes/Boston, that global approach is being applied to innovation at the intersection of food, health, and resilience.
