Our Activities
The GTP delivers on its mission through four broad types of activity
Heading

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Tortor amet enim cursus turpis congue. Convallis pharetra a aliquam elit arcu consequat lorem. Aenean amet consectetur congue praesent est quis volutpat. Sed sit eu duis dui tellus tellus. Lobortis viverra eu ligula elementum tellus viverra et.
Connect
1
A neutral and engaged player, the Geneva Trade Platform brings policymakers, academics and stakeholders of all types together across the borders of countries, political divides and policy communities.
Our goal is to bring the right people together in the right format and at the right time to address concrete challenges.
Empower
2
Where capacity shortfalls among participants or stakeholders are holding back constructive engagement, the Geneva Trade Platform can step in through accessible, targeted and practical training. Our focus is to bring top practitioners together with leading theoretical experts to design and deliver training of direct and immediate relevance to recipients’ daily challenges.
Incubate
3
The Geneva Trade Platform's home in the Graduate Institute provides it a trusted institutional foundation which it can use to provide a neutral space for ongoing policy debate and to hothouse projects by others.
The Graduate Institute's independence, as well as its trusted accounting, human resources and ethical standards, make it an ideal partner for bold new ideas needing a foundation to grow.
Inform
4
The international trade policy conversation can be opaque, jargon laden and impenetrable to those without specialist knowledge.
Where the Geneva Trade Platform identifies an information shortfall that's leading to confusion, a negotiating impasse or driving down diverse engagement, we will work with specialist partners to produce accessible, concise and outcomes oriented information.

Why it matters
How we Drive Impact
Bridging Divides
1
Policymakers, lawyers, practitioners and academics all hold different pieces of the puzzle. Solutions emerge when we bring them together in the right ways, with the right support, and pose the right questions.
Helping Others' Insights Shine
2
Helping the smartest content find its audience helps arm decision makers with the knowledge they need to make well informed choices. Not all experts are natural storytellers or comfortable communicators, but that shouldn't hobble their impact.
Solid Agility
3
An agile, dynamic secretariat built atop the solid foundation of the Graduate Institute helps us move fast without breaking things. We're flexible enough to be dynamic and creative, but with the processes and depth required to ensure trust.
