How we've partnered
Our partnerships are about creating impact greater than the sum of its parts.
Our mandate to Partner Widely, Relentlessly and Globally
We work with a broad range of partners from academics and think-tanks whose work deserves a larger platform to donors who support our core work, global resources and capacity building efforts.
From G7 governments to LDCs and from Fortune 50 companies to individual students, our door is always open.

We noticed it was hard to find information online about the plurilateral negotiations happening at the WTO, or the MPIA, so we partnered with KAS to build wtoplurilaterals.info, which now sees thousands of visitors every month.
With CropLife and the WTO

We joined forces with CropLife International and the WTO Secretariat to host an international student hackathon on food security. Dozens of teams from around the world competed to present ideas to a panel of Ambassadors keynoted by the WTO Director-General.

With support from Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, we have been delivering direct support to the Permanent Mission of Timor-Leste to the World Trade Organization.
Stakeholder groups
Who we work with
Donors & funders
The GTP is made possible through core funding from the Swiss Government, but we rely on contributions and funding from governments, foundations and the private sector to support our projects, events and resources.
Governments
We work with capitals and Permanent Missions to deliver events of all sizes, from major conferences to private negotiations, to support the work of negotiators and to highlight key initiatives.
IGOs
We collaborate closely with the WTO, UNCTAD, WEF, ITC, World Bank and OECD to help support their work, publicize their research and deliver innovative solutions.
NGOs
The voice of civil society is critical to an inclusive, sustainable trade policy agenda and we at the Geneva Trade Platform work to strengthen their participation, provde windows for engagement and create spaces for dialogue between NGOs and policymakers.
Academia
Based out of the Graduate Institute, we see ourselves as sitting at the intersection of academia and policy, partnering with scholars from all over the world.
Private sector
From the ICC to individual small businesses, we partner extensively with the private sector practitioners navigating trade policy turbulence to help make their voices heard and bring them the insights they need.
Students
Students from the Graduate Institute and beyond are the beating heart of our delivery, working with us on everything from events to research, communications and capacity building.

Each year the WSA Annual Assembly in Geneva offers members an opportunity to hear expert insights from the heart of multilateralism and create a platform to share industry perspectives with key decision makers. With trade top of mind for many this year, we once again leveraged our partnership with the Geneva Trade Platform for a plenary session on Navigating the New Trade Landscape: Insights and Action. Expertly moderated by Dmitry Grozoubinski

I wholeheartedly encourage students, academics, and practitioners who share a commitment to open, high-quality, and globally connected legal education to join this platform and engage with this extraordinary resource. It is reshaping how we teach and learn international trade law, and, in doing so, it is quietly reshaping who gets to shape its future.

At the Hackathon Finals hosted by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Geneva Trade Platform (GTP), the energy in the room was electric – all the teams involved focused on one big question: how can we use innovation to strengthen global food security?
