International Business Leaders Forum

What International Business Leaders Forum does

IBLF Global is an independent not-for-profit NGO registered as a charity in the United Kingdom and headquartered in London, with operational presence spanning Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Russia, Turkey, China, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, and West Africa. Founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the 25-year-old International Business Leaders Forum, the organization operates through three core pillars: Mobilising Business (collective action initiatives and policy advice on legal/regulatory reform), Educating Entrepreneurs (SME training and a mentoring scheme matching young entrepreneurs with experienced business leaders), and Leading Change (public-private dialogues, roundtables, research, and thought leadership publications). Its core capabilities are cross-sector facilitation, training methodology design, and the convening of multi-stakeholder partnerships around business integrity and anti-corruption in emerging markets.

The organization delivers its services through locally trained consultants and partner organizations in developing countries, with a portfolio of knowledge products including Business Integrity Toolkits, the Healthcare Integrity Initiative (sector-specific), Youth Engagement Policy Guides, and reports co-authored with UN agencies. IBLF Global does not operate as a technology company; its proprietary value lies in its neutral 'safe haven' positioning, its 25-year heritage through its predecessor, and a network spanning governments, multilateral organizations, business associations, and civil society. There are no proprietary software products, AI/ML capabilities, or technology platforms underlying the service delivery.

IBLF Global is funded on a project-by-project basis by governments, international development agencies, and corporate foundations. Stated donors include UK FCDO, European Union, USAID, UNDP, EBRD, Chandler Foundation, and the Siemens Integrity Initiative. The organization has a small core team of 1-10 employees plus regionally deployed consultants, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and an independent Board of Trustees governance structure. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is institutional, comprising multinational companies operating in emerging markets, SMEs in local supply chains, government agencies and regulatory bodies, and international organizations, with revenue effectively tied to the project funding pipeline from a defined set of institutional donors.
