The Global Trade Partnership’s purpose is to alleviate poverty through new-markets trade, public-private-partnerships and job creation for small and medium-sized businesses. We are an international consortium of leaders from major government, business, investment and technology who identify, connect and advise on seven activities. 1 – The cultivation of global trade opportunities and new market activity across all sectors 2 – Shaping the agenda for Public Private Partnerships that deliver jobs, entrepreneurs and Small-Medium-Sized Enterprise opportunities 3 - Leadership education, skill development and digital enablement 4 – Delivery roadmaps for large-scale projects (such as PPP) and regional-industry growth transformation 5 – Corporate Social Responsibility leadership for corporations and government 6 – Linking projects to funding 7 – Governance and transparent leadership to prevent fraudulent and illegal activity Why do we do that? Global trade is valued at $25.3tn dollars but growth is slowing due to political tensions and it is feared world poverty is set rise as a result. Our purpose is to alleviate poverty through trade, investment and job creation – in other words, good business across sectors and geographies. We focus on driving projects that will have a positive impact on Small-Medium Sized Enterprises as they create up 80% of all jobs worldwide. Show less
