We bring major think tanks and researchers together with high-ranking representatives from governments, businesses, international organizations and civil society on an ongoing basis to work on concrete solutions for global challenges.
Our annual Global Solutions Summit is the world’s premier forum for transforming research into policy for the G7, G20 and beyond. It advances global economic, environmental, and social prosperity by connecting thought leaders and decision-makers, visionaries and pragmatists from policy, academia, civil society, and the private sector.
Our conferences, webinars, workshops and other events aim to provide policy recommendations to the G20 & T20 and G7 & Think7 and are hosted by the Global Solutions Initiative or our network members.
