A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PLATFORM OF CHANGEMAKERS

For over two decades, the Group of Nations (formerly known as CAT Company Inc.) has established itself as a trusted leader in producing and distributing publications and events that bridge the gap between government policies and the global business community. Since our inception in 1997, with the first official print edition commemorating the G7 Summit in Denver, we have expanded our portfolio to include exclusive and official publications for the G20, B20, G20 YEA, and APEC summits.

With the launch of our rebranded identity and website in 2020, the Group of Nations (GON) has evolved into a multidisciplinary hub for collaboration, uniting the private sector, industry leaders, and policymakers. We invite you to join us as a thought partner, co-creator, and collaborator on this transformative journey.

THE BENEFITS OF WHAT WE DO

At Group of Nations, we provide unparalleled opportunities for companies to elevate their presence on the global stage. Our platform offers:

  • Global Visibility: Showcase your company’s story, achievements, and innovations to influential decision-makers worldwide.
  • Thought Leadership: Position your company as a leader in your industry by aligning with the agendas of global summits like G7, G20, B20, and APEC.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Build meaningful connections with governments, businesses, and civil society to foster collaboration and growth.
  • Impactful Storytelling: Share your corporate vision and contributions in a way that resonates with global audiences, enhancing your brand reputation.
  • Access to Policymakers: Engage with key stakeholders shaping policies that influence industries and global markets.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE WORLD WE WANT

In today’s interconnected world, solving the most pressing global challenges requires more than the efforts of government leaders alone. It demands the collective input of all stakeholders. Through our digital and print publications, our cutting-edge mobile app for members, and our events, we provide a platform for the private sector, media, non-profits, and civil society to engage in critical discussions and contribute to the solutions outlined by policymakers at these summits.

Whether you aim to position yourself and your company as an industry leader, raise awareness for your CSR or Shared Value programs, contribute to global policy debates, or enhance profitability, we invite you to collaborate with us. Our partnerships and strategic marketing initiatives are designed to connect you with key decision-makers in government and business worldwide. Together, we can shape the future and create the world we want
