The Global Economic Partnership

The GEP Idea

While the Global Economic Symposium identifies global economic challenges and their solutions, 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.
Mission & Activities

The Global Economic Partnership, like the Global Economic Symposium, is action-oriented. Its mission involves:

  • determining the role of business in helping to resolve the most pressing global economic problems,
  • identifying the economic policies and institutions needed for business to contribute optimally to overcoming these problems.
Corporate Global Stewardship Initiative

Today’s global economic problems cannot be resolved by business leaders, policy makers, civil leaders and academics acting in isolation. Addressing these problems requires the coordinated efforts of all of them.

The Corporate Global Stewardship Initiative aims to promote collaboration in providing a network in which business leaders can work together and in supporting their efforts by connecting them to the international research community.
