GSG IMPACT SUMMIT 2027

Building resilient economies in a changing world

Join 1,200+ global leaders and innovators from government, finance, and business at GSG Impact Summit 2027, to explore how to build resilient economies in a changing world.

Systemic risks – from geopolitical tensions and climate pressures, to demographic shifts and widening inequalities – are reshaping the operating environment for governments, investors, and businesses. GSG Impact Summit 2027 will provide a platform for action and innovation on how to allocate government, investor, and company resources in order to future-proof portfolios, businesses, and whole economies.

CROSS-SECTOR

Our agenda goes beyond impact investing to address the whole of the evolving ecosystem: public and private sector, capital supply and demand, market participants and market builders.

GLOBAL

We are bringing the world to The Hague, creating collaboration and strategic partnerships across the Global North and South.

Three tracks. One ambition.
