As we approach Abt’s 60th anniversary, we celebrate many achievements that demonstrate our perseverance to bring the best solutions to complex challenges. Through massive geopolitical and social shifts, we remain committed to our mission and our values, always focused on improving the lives of those most in need.
This year, we officially became Abt Global. While our name has changed, our commitment to addressing the world’s most pressing problems with equity and agility remains the same. Changing our name underscores the scope of our mission to improve the quality of life and economic well-being of people worldwide. It honors both the impact of our founder Clark Abt’s dream and the relationships we’ve built and nurtured around the globe.
And, more recently, we joined forces with TSPi, an award-winning digital solutions firm that is now a Division of Abt Global. This deepens our ability to deliver transformative data-driven insights and end-to-end capabilities our clients are asking for to accelerate their impact. With TSPi’s forward-leaning expertise, we will advance citizen-centric, real-time solutions that put data into the hands of people and policymakers around the world for equitable change.
