We partner with institutions, case by case
A partnership is a standing relationship between two institutions, built around what each can do for the other. Partners gain reach into the ministries, chambers, ports, universities and international organisations we convene.
Caspian Week 2020, Davos — Signing ceremony
Two separate routes
For institutions
Since 2017, we have convened institutions from across the region. Cooperation is agreed directly, in writing and case by case. For a first conversation, write to info@greater-caspian.org.
For companies
A company with a commercial problem in the region, such as a market to enter, a counterparty to verify, a facility to build or a dispute to resolve, should see our For business page. Partnership and business engagements are separate; neither is a route into the other.
Partnership

I · Standing relationships
Institutional cooperation
Institutional cooperation is the basis of our partnership work. We work with chambers of commerce, universities, diplomatic missions and international organisations. The record of that work is on our How we work page.
A cooperation is shaped by the subject the two institutions want to address together. It can be a joint forum, a shared programme in one of the sectors on our What we work on page, or a standing channel for the region.
There are no tiers or fees.
II · Projects built together
Joint initiatives
An initiative is a project that we and a partner launch together on our own account. There are no commercial terms between us, and it is built on our network across the region.
Examples include a data centre, a water-credits system modelled on carbon credits, and Central Asian projects and businesses launched elsewhere. To propose an initiative, see our Projects page.
III · One forum at a time
Partnering on a forum
Event partnership is tied to a single forum. A partner contributes in kind or in cash, and receives visibility at that event. There are no tiers or fixed fees. Terms for Caspian Week, our flagship forum, are on its own site: event partnership (opens the Caspian Week site in a new tab) and host a forum (opens the Caspian Week site in a new tab).
