Festival of Inclusive Trade Overview

The Festival of Inclusive Trade returns with a bold agenda: to unpack the challenges of our time, inspire moral leadership, and forge new, trust-based international partnerships grounded in cooperation rather than competition.

The Festival—produced by the Global Trade Professionals Alliance (GTPA)—brings together trade professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, youth leaders, policymakers, and communities for two weeks of powerful online dialogue, performance, and collaboration.

Country Hosts

We are inviting like-minded nations—to become Country Partner Hosts. While the Festival remains virtual, host countries enjoy a leading role in shaping the program, showcasing national strengths, and amplifying international engagement.

Let’s Shape the Future—Together. Contact us to explore how your country can help reimagine inclusive trade in 2026 and beyond.

Strategic Partnership

We are inviting global trade alliance organisations and institutions to partner with us for the Festival of Inclusive Trade 2026. By collaborating with the Festival, your organisation will play an instrumental role in shaping the global conversation on inclusive trade, sustainable practices, and innovation in cross-border cooperation.

As a Strategic Partner, you will have access to unique opportunities to highlight your organisation’s efforts, network with international trade professionals, and demonstrate your commitment to shaping the future of trade in a more inclusive and equitable way.

Corporate Sponsorship

The Festival of Inclusive Trade offers corporate organisations the opportunity to showcase their leadership and commitment to inclusive trade and innovation in an entirely virtual environment. This two-week online event will engage stakeholders from around the world—policymakers, trade experts, entrepreneurs, artists, youth leaders, and more—who will collaborate on sustainable trade practices and cross-cultural cooperation.

With a global audience and easy online access, this event provides unique exposure for sponsors to engage with key decision-makers and stakeholders, including opportunities for high-profile branding, thought leadership, and strategic partnerships.
