Europe needs Africa.
We connect those who belong together.
In a globalized world, establishing and upholding mutual dialogue is key. Global Perspectives Initiative connects the key figures in business, politics, media and civil society to shape a sustainable common future.
The focus in this context is on the European-African dialogue. Europe needs Africa as a mutually trusted and respected partner — and vice versa. As an independent and politically neutral dialogue platform, we lead the European-African dialogue and strengthen the multilateral cooperation of the future.
Global Perspectives Initiative is a not-for-profit organization based in Berlin, Germany.

Featured Program Highlight
The Africa Roundtable
The Africa Roundtable is the forum for decision-makers from the political, business and civil society spheres in Europe-Africa cooperation. It deals with pressing issues and challenges of the neighboring continents and develops partnership-based solutions and models for future cooperation. Twice a year, the Africa Roundtable gathers its participants, alternating between the European and the African Continent. Prior publications ensure a fact-based discussion, which is concluded with action recommendations. The eponymous podcast and regular text contributions in pre- and post-processing, complete the program and ensure a continuous dialogue.

The Africa Roundtable
The Africa Roundtable is the forum for decision-makers from politics, business and civil society on European-African cooperation, which deals with current pressing issues and challenges of the neighbouring continents and develops partnership-based solutions and models for future cooperation.
Resilient Health Systems
Health is the fundamental requirement for individual, social, economic and political development and stability. Economic growth cannot be achieved without a healthy population. Building resilient health systems requires a global perspective and can only be ensured through coordinated international action. This can only be done by taking into account the views and needs of our neighboring continent.
Business for Future
Without economic growth, there can be no sustainable development. Through dialogue with business and industry leaders, we create understanding, highlight business opportunities and motivate greater engagement on the continent. In doing so, we focus particularly on topics such as entrepreneurship, technology and investment, financial infrastructures and women's economic empowerment in the European-African context.
