The Group of Twenty, or the G20, is the premier forum for international economic cooperation. The G20 brings together the leaders of both developed and developing countries from every continent.

Collectively, G20 members represent around 80% of the world’s economic output, two-thirds of global population and three-quarters of international trade. Throughout the year, representatives from G20 countries gather to discuss financial and socioeconomic issues.

The Global Innovation Hub for Improving Value in Health was born out of the G20. World Leaders recognized the need for an organization that worked to accelerate the global transformation towards value-based care. As such, the Global Innovation Hub contributes each G20 Presidency through the Health Working Group and Joint Finance and Health Task Force.

The presidency of the G20 rotates between member countries every year and the current G20 Presidency is Brazil.
