A Convergence of Influential Partners A distinguished collection of business and civil society leaders, including well-known companies like Amazon, AT&T, Microsoft, SAP, and Verizon, will collaborate with the GEF. The GEF's consistent commitment to empowering and including young people in the advancement of the #GlobalGoals is shown by this relationship. The objective is to go beyond academic debates and innovation and instead focus on making a meaningful difference in the world.
