Our mission
Our mission is to bring people and ideas together, and to turn that shared imagination into real progress.
Our focus is sharpening. We are concentrating our ideas and action around three clear threads:
Connections & Community
Education
Arts, Culture & Society
We’re excited to work alongside our Fellowship to turn ideas into real progress. This work sits at the heart of what we do. We’ll be sharing more about this in the months ahead.
A Fellow Project
Get involved in our new Fellows project: Skills in the AI age
AI and emerging technologies are reshaping work faster than skills and systems can adapt. This project works with our Fellows to understand how these changes are felt by people and communities – and what they mean for jobs, skills, and progression.
What we stand for
- We ignite ideas – We create the conditions where ideas develop: through inquiry, debate, research, creative exploration, and the collision of perspectives that rarely meet elsewhere. Our role is to provoke new thinking, uncover what others overlook, and open possibilities that move society forward.
- We bring extraordinary people together – Our Fellowship is a global community of creators, thinkers, innovators, and leaders who bring insight, creativity, and a shared commitment to improving the world. Fellows join because they want to contribute to something bigger than any one discipline, and because collaboration accelerates discovery.
- We make ideas real – We build. We test. We turn imagination into action through prototypes, experiments, partnerships, and new approaches that show what’s possible. When something works, we help it spread.
