The People Behind GTF
GTF's leadership team will be announced ahead of GTF 2026. Confirmed individuals and their biographies will appear here.
Advisory Council
A forum built to align global digital policy needs more than organizers — it needs counsel.
GTF's advisory council will bring senior expertise from across governments, industry, and research to shape the forum's direction.
Council members will be announced ahead of GTF 2026.
Our Partners in Building GTF
StrategEast
StrategEast is GTF's co-organizer, a leading independent institution advancing the digital economy in developing countries since 2017. StrategEast brings deep experience convening forums across Eurasia, the Gulf, and beyond, along with an established network of government and industry relationships that inform GTF's approach.
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
GTF operates with the endorsement of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, providing institutional credibility and diplomatic support for the forum's neutral, global positioning.
APCO Worldwide
APCO Worldwide serves as GTF's strategic communications partner, advising on positioning, messaging, and outreach to ensure the forum's agenda reaches the right audiences with clarity and precision.
Why This Team
GTF's ambitions — a coordinated global digital agenda, real cross-border investment, genuine multilateral cooperation — require more than a single organization to deliver. The combination of StrategEast's convening experience, Japan's diplomatic standing, and APCO's strategic guidance reflects the same principle that shapes GTF's agenda itself: complex problems are best solved by bringing the right people and institutions into the same room.
