Our First Year
GCI President Teresa Carlson reflects on the institute’s 2024 launch and what’s on tap for the coming months. After successful launches and a global sprint covering the U.S., Brussels, India and the UK, GCI is now putting our 2025 strategy to work. The top priority is making sure we're amplifying the voices of the 800+ portfolio companies we support in important policy conversations around the world. In Washington, we are deep in our engagement with the new administration and Congress on how best to accelerate tech transformation and strengthen national resilience.

U.S. Healthcare that works
GCI has launched a whitepaper on priority U.S. healthcare issues ripe for modernization and the urgent need to improve policy to deliver high-quality value-based care. The paper unveils Catalyzing Care: A Framework for a Healthier America to help transform healthcare delivery.
