About Us

The Global America Business Institute (GABI) was established in May 2011 in Washington, D.C. in response to the growing need to equip today’s leaders with knowledge and understanding on global issues in an increasingly borderless world.

GABI’s mission is to advance awareness and proficiency in global affairs with a focus on international energy policy issues.

Through its broad networks with government, industry, think tanks, academia, NGOs, and research institutes, GABI deals extensively with issues related to zero-carbon energy including nuclear, hydrogen, and renewable technologies in addition to the international relationships that undergird the deployments of such technologies.

Energy Policy

Primary objectives of GABI’s activities include promoting greater awareness about international energy policy and strengthening international collaboration in energy technology research and development. GABI organizes forums and produces publications on energy policy issues by approaching energy from a variety of viewpoints and perspectives including economics, sustainability, security of supply, diversity, R&D, safety, geopolitics, and other related topics. Nuclear, hydrogen, and renewable energy have been areas of special focus for GABI given their advantages in addressing carbon emissions and energy security concerns.

Fellowships

GABI offers unique professional development programs. Participants engage in rich dialogue with prominent policymakers, influential figures, and other fellows to create a shared learning experience. GABI’s portfolio includes the Visiting Fellowship Program, Elite CEO Program, and Global Leadership Educational Program. Each educational program is fully customizable to meet the specific needs of individual professions and groups.

Research

It is important to help leaders develop a deeper understanding of issues that influence policy decisions. GABI offers in-depth analyses and studies on topics of interest to its clients and provides summaries and policy insights on a regular basis.

GABI is the sister institute of the Korean American Business Institute (KABI) in Seoul. KABI was founded in 1974 to strengthen and enhance business relations between Korea and the United States and was duly recognized by the U.S.-Korea Commerce Ministers Joint Communiqué of June 5, 1974.
