The Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) on 28th December 2025 announced the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Fourth Sector Group (4SG), a global platform advancing economic systems that prioritise human and planetary wellbeing.
The partnership aims to support the development of a for-benefit economic ecosystem within the Gelephu Mindfulness City Special Administrative Region.
It will integrate sustainability, innovation, and the principles of Gross National Happiness to position Bhutan as a premiere global hub for purpose-driven development.
For-benefit enterprises form a fourth sector of the economy, complementing the traditional private, public, and nonprofit sectors.
They are mindful businesses whose core purpose is to deliver positive societal and environmental outcomes while generating benefits for all stakeholders.
At the signing, GMC Governor Dasho Dr Lotay Tshering said that the collaboration advances His Majesty’s vision of creating a new economic gateway for Bhutan that harmonises economic growth with cultural preservation and ecological stewardship.
