The Global Technology Expo for Deployment Demonstration (GTED²) is coming soon to downtown Little Rock, Arkansas.
What is GTED²?
It will be a physical hub where businesses, governments, investors, and organizations come together to showcase, test, and scale sustainable technologies that can solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
A Global Stage for Breakthroughs
GTED² provides a physical site for innovation, designed to:
- Showcase proven, scalable technologies ready for deployment
- Connect innovators with investors, policymakers, and global leaders
- Foster collaboration across business, nonprofit, and government sectors

There are 7.2 billion people in the world.
Every 8 seconds, another person is born.
This growing global population is straining the planet’s water, energy, food, environment, and health systems.
That’s where GTED² comes in to help.

Born From the Little Rock Accord
GTED² was born from the Little Rock Accord (2012), a historic agreement that united the Club de Madrid and the P80 Group Foundation. Together, they formed a Joint Task Force with technology companies, institutional investors, NGOs, and government leaders to turn bold commitments into action.
Today, this Task Force works with managers overseeing $20 trillion in global assets, guiding investments toward technology deployment that addresses resource shortages.
Building the Future Together
The ongoing implementation of the Little Rock Accord includes:
- GTED²: a hub for showcasing solutions
- Global Solutions Summits & Reunions: convenings for leaders, innovators, and funders
- Strategic & Advisory Support: provided by participants of the Accord and new partners who have since joined
