About Global institute for tomorrow
Global Institute for Tomorrow (GIFT) is a leading independent pan-Asia think tank that is dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of the shift of influence in the whole world. The institute was founded in 2005 and has since then been at the forefront of research, education, and advocacy on issues related to sustainable development, responsible leadership, and global governance.
At GIFT, we believe that the world is undergoing a profound transformation driven by economic growth, technological innovation, demographic change, and geopolitical realignments. These changes are creating new opportunities as well as challenges for individuals, organizations, and societies around the globe. To navigate this complex landscape successfully requires new ways of thinking about leadership and governance that are grounded in values such as sustainability, inclusivity, transparency, accountability.
Our mission at GIFT is to help individuals and organizations develop these new ways of thinking through our research programs on sustainable development goals (SDGs), responsible leadership practices (RLPs), global governance frameworks (GGFs), among others. We also offer executive education programs that equip leaders with practical skills needed to lead their organizations effectively in today's rapidly changing environment.
One of our flagship programs is the "Leadership Accelerator" which provides an immersive learning experience for senior executives from diverse sectors who want to enhance their leadership skills while gaining insights into emerging trends shaping their industries. The program combines classroom sessions with experiential learning activities such as site visits to innovative companies or social enterprises.
Another program we offer is "Sustainability Leadership" which focuses on equipping leaders with knowledge about sustainability issues such as climate change mitigation/adaptation strategies or circular economy models so they can integrate these concepts into their decision-making processes effectively.
We also conduct research on various topics related to sustainable development goals such as poverty reduction strategies or gender equality initiatives. Our reports provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers at national/international levels who seek guidance on how best they can achieve SDGs targets.
At GIFT, we believe that responsible leadership is key to achieving sustainable development goals. We work with leaders from various sectors such as business, government, civil society, and academia to promote responsible leadership practices that are grounded in values such as integrity, empathy, and social responsibility.
