The Global Business Roundtable (GBR) is a global professional networking organisation, with a key mandate to develop people holistically. GBR focuses on the following key areas of human development: spiritual development (which we believe is a foundation for ethical behaviour and consciousness); business and financial development (including trade and investment); family and society issues; science and technology; education and intellectual development; sports, arts and culture; leadership, governance and politics, as well as media and communications. GBR has grown since its inception in 2009 to over 80 countries around the globe. It has presence in 43 countries in all the core regions of the Continent: SADC, West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa and North Africa. GBR is present in 14 Countries in Europe, 12 States in the USA and Canada, in Asia, Middle-East, the Caribbean Islands and Indian Ocean Islands. GBR aims to be in 150 nations in line with its Vision 2020 strategy.
