About

Berlin Global Dialogue unites international leaders from business, politics, and academia to shape the global economy in the twenty-first century.

Established in 2022, BGD emerged from the economic, political, and social realities of the twenty-first century. We are a new platform for a new era, hosted in a city symbolic of bridging divisions and promoting unity.

"Maintaining international cooperation is paramount to solving today's social, economic, and political problems. I look forward to engaging in constructive conversations with diverse leaders from business, government, and academia at this year's Berlin Global Dialogue.

Together, we can build common ground in these challenging times."

Emmanuel Macron

"Berlin Global Dialogue brings together vital perspectives from across the globe – North, South, East and West – and from across generations, in a compelling and challenging conversation."
