Public Private Roundtables

Public-Private Roundtables

GFTN’s Chatham House sessions support our member coalitions developing innovation concepts to define their path to implementation in candid dialogue between peers.

Participants may expect to test their ideas with transdisciplinary audiences from the public and private sector, allowing them to benefit from the experiences of industry, academia and practitioners in finance and technology

Outputs from our roundtables include reports and concept notes that may form the backbone of memorandums of understanding, taking ideas towards implementation.

Design Thinking

GFTN’s design thinking sessions draw on a shared vision of the future to support our members in defining their pathway to realising this vision. We facilitate the ideation of innovative concepts and the formation of coalitions to prototype and validate them.

Attendees may expect to bring together what is desirable with what is technologically feasible and economically viable. We will experience divergent thinking and convergent choices, moving between inspiration and ideation.

Outputs from our design thinking sessions include a catalogue of ideas that attendees may choose to explore developing, as well as skeleton concept notes for members to form coalitions for implementation.

Co-located Summits

Launchpad & Workshops

GFTN’s workshops and launchpad sessions celebrate the fruit of our members’ innovation journeys and provide a platform for scale.

Interactive and with the opportunity for networking, these sessions enable the curious to discover and nurture opportunities to progress their strategies for the key topics of the time with proven partners.

Outputs from our launchpad and workshop sessions include reports and the formation of partnerships.
