The Global Alliances Program (GAP) serves as the Institute's expert platform for establishing and implementing partnerships between the Aspen Institute, US government and public offices, the US private sector, and local counterparts and communities throughout the world.

Rooted in a strong conviction that the proliferation of business-to-business and people-to-people partnerships enhances, stabilizes and deepens relations between both nations and communities, GAP carries the Institute's mission of value-based leadership and implements it through the Institute's core competencies of convening, facilitating and enabling partnership.
