A Global Movement for social innovation initiatives
Catalyst 2030 is a fast-growing global movement of people and organizations committed to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 through impactful social innovation initiatives.
Launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2020, Catalyst 2030 is a movement led by social entrepreneurs and innovators, responding to a global call to action for people and planet.
Co-founded in 2019 by members of Ashoka, Echoing Green, the Schwab Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation, it was incubated by One Family Foundation and later supported by Panorama Global. Collaborating with communities, governments, businesses, and funders, we drive social innovation initiatives to implement bold strategies and sustainable solutions for a brighter future.
Collaborate for Social Innovation Initiatives
We have a greater chance of achieving the 17 Global Goals outlined in the SDGs through social innovation initiatives that address the world’s most pressing problems. By collaborating, we can share ideas, improve access to information, deploy resources more effectively, and develop inclusive solutions that enhance people’s lives.
Since 2020, committed people and organizations have increasingly joined forces in meaningful collaboration. We invite you to engage with us in our social innovation initiatives and be part of our expanding community.
