Global Thinkers Forum (GTF)

Global Thinkers Forum (GTF) was founded in 2012 by Elizabeth Filippouli. It is a non-profit, London-based organization that brings together a diverse network of visionary thought leaders to effect positive change in the world. The 1st GTF and inaugural GTF Awards for Excellence took place in Amman, Jordan discussing the role of the modern Arab woman, in the MENA region and globally. GTF convened some 350 international executives under the patronage of Queen Rania of Jordan and with the support of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development. GTF was incubated at Oxford Said Business School as an initiative to create new thinking and effect positive change for the world. Global Thinkers Forum also creates smaller events such as workshops and roundtable discussions, promoting women’s and youth empowerment.
