ICF envisioned Global Partnership Summit 2017: The first such initiative being hosted by India
For the first time ever, India Center Foundation (ICF), a non-governmental and not for profit organisation is all set to organize the Global Partnership Summit (GPS) 2017 in India, scheduled to be held at the Aero City in New Delhi from 11th to 14th December 2017.
ICF
has been working for over two decades towards India's socio-economic
development keeping Indian conditions in mind. The summit is being
considered as a unique initiative by ICF that will emphasize on
various segments which contribute in playing a key role in the
nation's building process such as clean energy, healthcare,
infrastructure and logistics, energy, tourism, art and culture, agro
economy, banking and finance, education and skill development and
information communication technology, among others.
The
visionary behind the initiative is Vibhav Kant Upadhyay, who has been
a key player for implementing many developmental initiatives in the
past two decades. Upadhyay is the founder-chairman of the GPS, who
also heads the
India Center Foundation (ICF).
The GPS will
majorly focus on the developmental aspects of Asia's two great
nations -
India and Japan, who will propose several projects during
the summit. Not only that, the summit would also focus on Africa's
developmental model and doing so, it will play a key role in
strengthening the overall infrastructure from Asia to Africa.

the summit, leaders, diplomats, bureaucrats, intellectuals from
various countries will deliberate on an inclusive model of
development.
