The Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute

This is where smart people meet. It is not surprising that the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute’s maxim is «Where the best minds meet». The GDI operates as an independent think-tank in the fields of consumption, economics, and society.

An institute for tomorrow

The trends research institute based in Rüschlikon near Zurich is the oldest think-tank in Switzerland. Gottlieb Duttweiler himself founded it in 1962. The institute is dedicated to forging new ways of thinking. It examines megatrends and countertrends, and develops scenarios for the future.

The GDI is a place of encounter

GDI’s findings are recorded in papers and in published books, and lively discussions take place at various events. The institute invites leading thinkers and decision-makers to its conferences. And the GDI is itself an event location - it hires out rooms for business and private occasions.
