The Global Development Incubator applies a growth-engineering approach to nurture select ideas, organizations, and initiatives that tackle urgent global challenges. It offers structured, two- to three-year pathways designed to achieve critical step-changes, supporting the execution of a strategic plan and a transition to ongoing operations. GDI differentiates itself by combining hands-on implementation with strategic and networking support to address real-world barriers to growth and to pursue social impact at scale.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, the organization sits within the international development and trade sector, collaborating with innovators to advance scalable solutions. Its team is described as diverse, united by values such as integrity, curiosity, proactive action, willingness to take risks, and an appreciation of diversity. A notable recent development is the June 2023 launch of Usha Lesizalo, a multi-country, multi-stakeholder effort to mobilize resources for local health systems to scale human-centered maternal and neonatal care.
