The Group of Fifty ("Grupo de los Cincuenta", or G-50) is a non-profit, non-partisan initiative based in Washington D.C., USA, that is primarily concerned with fostering more openness between business leaders and promoting economic development and social progress in the Western Hemisphere.

Overview and Activities

G-50 is composed of a select group of Chief Executive Officers who lead some of the most successful and influential private business enterprises in the Americas across a wide variety of industrial sectors. The idea for the organization was first conceptualized by Moisés Naím in 1993 and is currently sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a leadingthink tank based in Washington D.C. dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States. G-50 members meet regularly to exchange their unique experiences and to develop initiatives in response to the imperatives caused by new economic and political developments in the Latin America and the rest of the world. Besides hosting annual events, the G-50 offers a permanent base of support to its members throughout the year.
