Global Thinkers Forum (GTF) is a global platform that brings together a diverse network of thought leaders to share their visions of the future, create meaningful conversations around them and effect positive change in the world.
GTF’s mission focuses on three areas: accountable leadership, women’s empowerment and youth development. GTF is also a bridge-builder, creating opportunities for knowledge exchange, collaboration, strategic philanthropy, and recognition.
The Forum is non-profit, London-based and was incubated at Oxford University’s Said Business School in 2011. GTF organizes a wide range of activities including seminars, fora, roundtable discussions, workshops, networking events, mentoring programmes and its Awards for Excellence Ceremony.
As part of the Global Thinkers Mentors, GTF has created the programme ‘Telemachus’ that aim to add value to young people’s lives.
