The Global Federation of Competitiveness Councils is a global network of leaders from competitiveness councils around the world. The fundamental drivers of national competitiveness are being knitted together in networks that now underpin global economic growth. Innovation, sustainability and resilience—once the foundation for national competitiveness advantage—are now global platforms for prosperity. Acting globally is now a prerequisite to economic competitiveness nationally. In addition to the goals of sharing best practices among councils and creating a network of global leaders committed to their national prosperity and the prosperity of the world, the Global Federation of Competitiveness Councils will develop and present each year a statement of shared principles for accelerating global competitiveness and prosperity.
