We have nearly 20 years’ experience of inspiring new thinking, building creative partnerships, and developing practical innovations to change our world.

The Forum has been working on ambitious projects with leading businesses in Asia Pacific for several years and opened a permanent office in Singapore in November 2013.   In February 2015, Forum launched the Futures Centre, a major new digital platform, which aims to be a powerful tool for decision makers to track trends, share resources and identify opportunities for sustainable innovation and collaboration.  Our primary work is to help individual businesses on their sustainability journey, using lots of futures and innovation approaches and to bring together cross sector collaborations to tackle specific challenges.
