A Strategic Future
about us
The Global Strategic Platform (GSP) is a non-profit organization based in California and created by a group of academics and practitioners who came together virtually during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This global pandemic has arrived at a time of economic and geopolitical uncertainties in the development paths of many nation-states. In addition to triggering public health crises, the pandemic also exposed various social, financial, technological and other weaknesses.
The main objective of this platform is to foster analytical dialogue between experts on critically important themes through virtual conferences. The main target audience includes academics, researchers, government officials, military officers, businesspeople, journalists, civil society organizations, embassies, and multinational companies. Although the conferences are transmitted live, they are also made available on social networks to bring the discussion to a wide audience. The platform also publishes written conference reports.
