Flagship events, office relocations, and more.
Here are some highlights of an eventful year for GIC.
In May 2025, the 2025 Bridge Forum Summit in San Francisco brought together more than 250 tech founders and senior enterprise executives from around the world for an exploration of one of the most transformational forces shaping our future: artificial intelligence (AI).
The Bridge Forum is GIC’s way of bringing together our network of tech founders with leading enterprises to connect, share insights and do business together.
With more than US$1.6 trillion in enterprise value represented, the event featured high-impact discussions on data strategy, enterprise culture, content creation, robotics, the future of AI-enabled business models, and more. In addition, GIC curated nearly 500 one-to-one meetings between founders and leading enterprises, forging new connections and opportunities across the tech ecosystem.
In September 2025, we held our second Bridge Forum Connects event in India.
Bridge Forum is GIC’s platform that convenes GIC’s large network of global business leaders and luminaries with start-up founders to curate connections, share exclusive insights, and drive impact. Bridge Forum Connects offers a focused event where senior decision-makers engage in in-depth discussions on the latest technological innovations and investment opportunities. The event is intended to strengthen GIC’s brand in the local markets and add value to buyers and sellers in the AI ecosystem by making meaningful connections.
More than 100 founders, CTOs, global partners, and senior executives from companies including OpenAI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Airtel, Eleven Labs, Temporal, Arize, Sanas.ai, Orkes, and Gnani.ai came together at IF.BE Mumbai to exchange ideas and share best practices in leveraging artificial intelligence to transform their organisations. The IF.BE is a creative and cultural space converted from a 10,000 square feet 150-year old ice factory in the city’s heritage precinct, providing a fitting backdrop for an evening of meaningful conversations.
In November 2025, more than 400 global business leaders, investors, policymakers, members of the GIC Board, and our Client gathered for GIC Insights 2025, our annual flagship thought leadership event.
This was the 10th run of GIC Insights, and the discussions spanned geopolitics, technology, and capital markets, offering insights on navigating uncertainty and seizing opportunities amid rapid change. The theme, “History Awaits”, reflects the inflection point we are facing, as transformative forces are redefining geopolitics, technology, climate, and investing.
GIC Insights brings together investors and business leaders from around the world to discuss the long-term issues shaping the economy and investment landscape. Over the years, it has fostered meaningful dialogues and forged valuable partnerships, helping us stay ahead of the trends that matter most to the future of business and investing.
Nearly 170 senior leaders from across GIC’s global network and employees gathered in New York City from 24 to 25 March 2026 for GIC’s Partnership Forum 2026.
Established in 2018, GIC Partnership Forum is a biennial event which brings together Chairs and Chief Executive Officers from our portfolio companies, industry leaders, founders, and GIC Industry Advisors (GIAs). The forum convenes this group to strengthen relationships across our global portfolio, find opportunities for value creation, and enhance the insights that inform our investment decisions.
Under the theme, “Thriving in the New Global Order,” the discussions focused on a core question facing investors and operators alike: what does it take to succeed in a world shaped by technological disruption, shifting geopolitics, and constant market change?
A key focus of the Partnership Forum is the participation of Chairs and CEOs of our portfolio companies together with our GIAs, independent industry experts and directors who serve on boards alongside or on behalf of GIC. The experience that our GIAs bring strengthens our portfolio companies’ boards, supports management teams with operational expertise, and provides sector perspectives that enhance strategic decision-making and long-term performance.
Our Beijing and Japan offices moved into new premises – featuring more modern interior designs and with more space to foster effective collaboration. Our New York office was also refurbished.
