Global Solutions Institute & Fulbright Foundation

Join Global Solutions Institute for an update on last year’s 2025 summit, the 11th Annual Wharton DC Innovation Summit.

The Global Solutions Institute was conceived in December 2012 at a historic meeting in Little Rock that brought together the Club de Madrid, comprised of 106 former presidents and prime ministers from more than 70 countries, and the P80 Group Foundation, founded by HRH Prince Charles, which works with the world’s largest pension and sovereign wealth funds.

Both groups are keenly focused on the accelerated deployment of technologies that can address growing global resource shortages. At the conclusion of the meeting, these organizations signed the historic Little Rock Accord, which defined the mission of the Global Solutions Institute as the institute where these technologies will be displayed and demonstrated, and where those with problems and those with solutions will come together to address the most pressing global issues.
