The Global Investment Forum was first launched as a stand-alone event in 2015, bringing together leaders, thinkers, and entrepreneurs to discuss the future of investments as well as global challenges and opportunities.
Building on the success of the forum, the Global Investment Foundation was established in Geneva in November 2022 with the mission of encouraging innovative developments in the private investments sector and reinforcing Geneva’s position as an investment banking hub.
Geneva is the home of the Forum not only because the foundation’s headquarters are found in the city, but also because of the city’s history of being a leading global financial center which is constantly reinventing itself and has brought about a unique ecosystem with a fertile environment for expertise, ideas, innovation and creation.
We foster a community of private investors, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, politicians, international organisations, and academia, committed to improving the state of the world by accelerating the transition to a sustainable economy through impact-driven allocation of assets.
