Catalyst Now

Catalyst Now, formerly known as Catalyst 2030, is the preeminent global consortium for social innovation. Inaugurated at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2020 and co-founded in 2019 by Ashoka, Echoing Green, the Schwab Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation, it galvanizes a network of over 7,000 social innovators across the world.

The movement convenes a diverse cohort — from grassroots initiatives and philanthropic entities to governmental bodies — to foster collaboration and mitigate fragmentation. Grounded in the conviction that the world’s most exigent challenges demand immediate intervention and that viable solutions already exist, Catalyst Now was incubated by the One Family Foundation and subsequently bolstered by Panorama Global.

By synergizing communities, governments, enterprises, and funders, the organization facilitates systemic transformation and catalyzes collective efficacy. The fundamental premise is that the world does not lack solutions; it lacks alignment.
