The Private Sector Promise: Business Leadership for America’s 250 & Beyond

The Private Sector Promise is
a new initiative by the Public Private Strategies Institute (PPSI) and Concordia designed to meet this moment. Together, we’re bringing business, government, and civil society together to strengthen democratic institutions and deliver real cross-sector solutions.

More Than A Celebration

America’s 250th anniversary is more than a celebration. 
It’s a call to action.

Through a curated series of high-impact convenings in 2026, The Private Sector Promise: Business Leadership for America’s 250 and Beyond will unite influential leaders across industry to support democratic renewal and the future of economic policy. Insights from these discussions will inform the Building a Better Future Policy Agenda — a national report outlining actionable market and policy recommendations to support a resilient American economy.
