About Us

Our mission

The Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) is an independent think tank based in Berlin. Our mission is to develop innovative strategies for effective and accountable governance and to achieve lasting impact at the interface of the public sector, business and civil society through research, consulting and debate.

GPPi was founded in 2003 to develop innovative approaches to effective and accountable governance, promote political and social entrepreneurship and foster a strategic community that brings together the public sector, civil society as well as business.

The institute seeks to contribute to a more vibrant think tank culture and improved strategic capacity in Germany and Europe. GPPi also seeks to support a transatlantic alliance with a global outlook and a focus on contributing to global governance. 

GPPi’s work cuts across the divides that all too often still separate traditional foreign policy (great power politics and international security) and issues such as development, the environment and human rights. GPPi’s work places a particular emphasis on cross-cutting topics such as leadership and organizational learning.
