The Global Direct Investment Forum is organized as a non-profit association of senior executives and professionals who are committed to work together and share their leadership experience and capabilities to help achieve sustainable prosperity through innovative approaches to development challenges in places of interest, such as communities in transition.

This leadership network functions as a global team on a mission to grow the speed and positive social impact of the flow of business investment projects as a powerful lever to uplift the world over time.

The objective is to achieve sustainable prosperity in many places through economic development as local communities transition to a more competitive business environment in the global economy.

The scope of work each year will reflect available resources to achieve a high-value impact soon in priority locations, but should also inspire others to achieve sustainable prosperity through innovation and the realization in practice of the positive impact over time of business growth on communities and individuals worldwide.

The mission is to develop many very competitive business environments in a fast-changing global context through the power of networks and entrepreneurial business leaders to change the world.

The leadership of the GDI Forum supports and guides the separate work of the non-profit GDI Foundation to focus on priority changes in communities of interest.

The Foundation functions as an "angel" fund to drive innovation in community development through mentoring and early stage financial support of entrepreneurial initiatives with high potential impact.

Global Direct Investment Solutions is a separate business, providing administrative and marketing services to develop, launch, and grow the Global Direct Investment Forum and Foundation.  It also provides other types of market research, independent referral, and marketing services to other clients in the "GDI" market.

It is one such "social entrepreneur venture" to provide professional relationship development and well-qualified referral services among the three global networks, somewhat like a global concierge :

  •  Executives responsible for the strategic planning and implementation of capital investment projects as their companies grow anywhere
  •  Professional service providers specialized in the support of capital investment projects to achieve goals faster and better with less risk
  •  Economic development professionals motivated to attract, retain, and support business investments to achieve sustainable prosperity
Partners4Technology is a separate business providing cross-border B2B introduction services online and through the scheduling of introductory meetings at business networking events - whether local, regional, national or global in scope.  It is a "social entrepreneur venture" to apply local networks of business contacts across borders by introducing entrepreneurial executives to peers, potential clients or suppliers, and professional service providers to support their growth from "contact to contract".

The work focuses primarily on introducing small and mid-sized technology enterprises to peers as they seek relevant contacts to grow faster and better beyond their community or market of origin.
