About the Forum New Economy

The Forum New Economy is a Berlin-based non-partisan platform launched in 2019 with the aim to accelerate the emergence of a new paradigm that leads to economically, socially and ecologically more sustainable prosperity. The Forum seeks to drive new approaches at the interface between academia and policy. It does so by promoting innovative research to respond to major challenges such as inequality, financial instability and climate change. The Forum informs current policy debates, by bringing together leading innovative academics with policymakers and a broader public in Germany and beyond.

The Forum works as an autonomous unit under the legal entity of the European Climate Foundation. It is also supported by the Mercator, the Hewlett and other foundations, as well as by a high-level group of academic partners. It is run by a Berlin-based bureau in which six full-time members are working at the frontier between new thinking and practical policymaking.
