About
The organisation states its mission plainly: launched at Davos in 2020, it is "a global ecosystem reimagining how economies define and deliver value—grounded in human needs, ecological integrity, and planetary stewardship," working with cross-sector leaders, policymakers and technologists to drive systems-level change through applied research, strategic partnerships and transformative programs.
Its practice areas are Applied Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Studio, Digital Assets & Blockchain, Healthcare Innovation, Quantum Computing, Regenerative Digital Infrastructure, Sustainability in Tech, and Tech Policy and Governance.
The work itself is grouped under three headings. Systems Design & Governance covers governance design, community building and stakeholder management. Technology & Foresight covers technology advisory on AI, Web3 and emerging tech, plus futurecasting and scenario planning. Resilience & Convening covers climate resilience planning and strategic convenings, including a presence at Climate Week NYC.
Alongside that it runs an Executive Fellowship Program with its own fellows, publications and application process, and an Institutional Research Network.
