Our purpose

To serve as a force for good, advancing practical solutions to critical global issues through facilitation of international dialogue.

We bring fresh thinking to the development of international policy. Together we create trusted global networks – connecting the public, private and third sector – that underpin its delivery.

We do this by delivering tailored events to engage decision makers and opinion formers, across sectors and around the world, on foreign policy priorities.

Our value as a representative of the UK Government lies in the calibre, mix and reach of the people we bring together. We do this through virtual, hybrid and face to face dialogues online, at our home in West Sussex, elsewhere in the UK and overseas.

We are an executive agency of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
