Gregory Rockson is the founder of Matrix, an "action tank" that brings together young entrepreneurs and innovators from groups that have been historically divided to create solutions to some of the challenges their societies face. One of their major initiatives is the Six Days of Peace Initiative.

Greg has been invited to participate in the World Economic Forum in Davos at the end of January on his Middle East Peace Initiative.
We will have the opportunity to hear a preview!

The Six Days of Peace is an Israel-Arab initiative which aims at building a strong foundation of dialogue and cooperation between young Israelis and Arabs with the hope of raising a new generation of leaders with a different orientation and socialization. The initiative focuses on three areas of cooperation; business, education and culture.

Last year, Gregory was selected by the World Economic Forum as a Global Shaper. The Global Shapers community is made up of young people between the ages of 20 and 30 with great potential for future leadership roles in society and who have an entrepreneurial track record, having already initiated and delivered a major project or founded a company or organization, exceptionally contributing to serving society at large. He has been invited to attend the Annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland where he will participate in a panel discussion on the role of the Millennial Generation.

Gregory is a PPIA fellow, Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, Co-founder of a Storbror, Storsoster, an afterschool mentorship program for refugee kids in denmark and a former board member of the Callaway County United Way.
