The Global Economic Partnership

The GEP Idea

While the Global Economic Symposium identifies global economic challenges, the Global Economic Partnership (GEP) aims to identify business strategies and economic policies that address these challenges.

The thrust of the GEP is activist. Its central questions are

  1. What can business do to tackle the most serious global economic problems?
  2. What economic policies and institutions need to be in place for business to contribute optimally to overcoming these problems?

The GEP enables its members to gain insight into the world’s most important economic trends, align their concerns with major global challenges, learn from one another, help shape the global economic policy agenda, and contribute to economic and social progress around the world.
Activities & Support

The GEP provides a platform that enables business leaders to help shape the global agenda on economic growth, ageing, climate change, poverty, economic development, and other global problems formulate business and policy responses.

Members of the GEP engage in the following activities:

  • They enter a network of business leaders whose business concerns are aligned with solutions to global economic problems.
  • They help formulate guidelines for policy reform to be implemented by local, regional and national government.
Corporate Global Stewardship Initiative

The major global economic problems cannot be tackled by entrepreneurs, policy makers, civil leaders, and academics acting in isolation. Addressing such problems increasingly requires coordinated efforts.
