About us
GDI is a bespoke political advisory firm and convening platform headquartered in Bahrain, with offices in Riyadh and London.
We specialise in business diplomacy — helping governments, multilateral organisations, C-Suite Executives in the private and non-profit sector to collaborate effectively to drive investment, reputational and economic growth, and sustainable development.
GDI has been established as a result of increasing global trade, investment tensions and health and development aid shortcuts in and between countries and multilateral organisations.
Our work bridges the divide between ambition and implementation — between high-level policy and tangible results.

We transform aspiration, ambition and organizational vision into impactful outcomes for governments, civil society, and enterprises.
