Their vision
They see a world full of potential, where new ideas solve the big challenges that matter to everyone.
Their mission
They seek out, spark and shape powerful new ideas, joining with others to take on the big challenges of their time and shift how the world works for everyone.
Why?
New ideas are key to human progress, prosperity and happiness. In a rapidly changing world, they need new ideas to tackle the big challenges they all face and empower people to shape the future.
These big challenges include an ageing population, stretched public services, a rapidly changing jobs market, and ordinary people feeling disempowered.
They work with others to achieve their goals
They know they can’t make change happen by themselves. They work with all kinds of partners all over the world, who have in common the drive to improve how the world works.

Their work
They combine their knowledge, networks, funding and skills to back new ideas that tackle big challenges. They operate across the globe and across sectors (including education, healthcare, the arts, technology, and economic policy), working with others to turn these good ideas into reality:
