1/5 🧠 At Global Talent Fund, we connect talent to opportunity.

Talent matters. It drives breakthroughs in science, fuels technological innovation, and powers economic growth. Yet, far too many brilliant minds never get the opportunity to realize their full potential.

At GTF, we're changing that.🧵
