Global health research collaborations are crucial in closing the cancer divide, eliminating global cancer health disparities. Key barriers to such collaborations identified at GHC summits include: distance, time, cultural and resource barriers. The GHC provides a platform to overcome these barriers catalyzing high impact collaborations involving researchers in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) and High Income Countries (HIC) by leveraging 1) advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome distance-time barriers, and  2) unprecedented outreach to the industry and the resource laden diaspora to overcome resource and cultural barriers.
