The Global Redesign Initiative

- Discussion at the Country Hearing in Singapore
The Global Redesign Initiative (GRI) is an interdisciplinary, multistakeholder dialogue to develop recommendations to reform and enhance international cooperation. The initiative was launched by the World Economic Forum in 2009 under the patronage of the governments of Qatar, Singapore, Switzerland and Tanzania.
The Network of Global Agenda Councils with over 1,200 experts from more than seventy thematic areas has developed innovative ideas and recommendations. Leaders from business, government, civil society, academia and media provided input through their participation in specific sessions at the Forum’s different meetings.
These events were supplemented by three “Country Hearings” co-organized with the patron governments. At the 2010 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos initial versions of the proposals were presented for comments and discussion in the Global Redesign IdeasLabs. At the end of May 2010 the final versions of 58 concrete proposals were presented to the global public at the Global Redesign Summit in Doha, Qatar.
