IBDE is a London-based non-profit, non-political, membership organisation providing leadership in promoting international trade and investment flows, financial and professional services, energy, infrastructure and ICT sectors as well as championing commercial and trade diplomacy. IBDE delivers its services, which effectively contribute towards the strengthening of dialogue on international political, business and economic issues, through enhanced consultation and resource-sharing between businesspeople, policymakers, academics and the diplomatic communities.
IBDE provides an independent, accessible platform for debate and exchanges of views to help inform international trade & investment policy and decision-making. In its approach IBDE considers the risks to business, including political risks, and the political aspects of business risk.
Bridging the gap between business and governments is the game changer for business people and diplomats today, and this is the focus of IB.
