ICTSD’s vision is a sustainable world, supported by national, regional, and international trade and investment policy and frameworks that promote inter-generational equity.

Founded in 1996, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ICTSD works globally through extensive partnerships and co-implementation strategies engaging participants from the policy-making, influencer, and business communities to advance practical solutions to some of the world’s most difficult challenges.
