Our place in the world is making the world a better place
Help us shape a more resilient New Zealand
As a values-based organisation our sole purpose is to create a better world for generations ahead of us. Through our programmes, we bring people together to explore big ideas, challenge perspectives, and find solutions to the issues shaping our future.
We focus on practical issues that are important to New Zealand such as economic opportunities, national security, energy resilience, intergenerational equity, climate change, artificial intelligence, technological advancements, international trade and more.
The support of New Zealanders like you is critical to our work. We welcome your contribution and participation.
