GCAP Affiliates Program

The GCAP Affiliates Program at Stanford University is designed to maximize productive, quality engagement on cutting-edge global issues between the GCAP Lab and our corporate affiliate members. We value two-way engagement with industry professionals to learn from each other about areas of joint interest. Through joining GCAP, you gain access to a variety of engagement opportunities — from research insights and talent recruitment to interactive discussions with GCAP faculty experts — designed to deliver value on multiple levels.

The GCAP Affiliates Program is subject to the Stanford University policy for Industrial Affiliates Programs. All support funds are unrestricted and used to support the GCAP Lab in our goal to shed light on how capital moves around the world to improve international economic policy. We focus on cutting-edge research on the biggest challenges in global markets, such as U.S.-China trade and financial relations, economic security, the role of reserve currencies, regulating offshore tax havens, and financial stability.
