About us

What we do

For the past ten years, IGP has been at the forefront of redesigning prosperity for the 21st century. We are transforming the way economies are conceived and managed, and redefining our relationship with the planet. Our vision is to build a prosperous, sustainable global future, rooted in fairness and justice, and aligned with a realistic, long-term understanding of humanity's place in the world.

Through pioneering research, IGP is dedicated to significantly improving the quality of life for current and future generations. Our strength lies in combining intellectual creativity with effective collaboration and policy development. A key aspect of our approach is the integration of non-academic expertise into our knowledge generation process, engaging with governments, policymakers, businesses, civil society, the arts, and local communities. We remain committed to driving change and building a better future for all.

Our aims are:

1. To challenge the prevailing understanding of prosperity by developing alternative models and ways of thinking;
2. To use robust empirical evidence, innovative policies and emerging technologies to secure future prosperity;
3. To develop broad and compelling public discussions for credible human future flourishing.

IGP values:

• Our work is problem-focused and future-oriented;
• We break down existing silos in academic research and build transdisciplinary teams to generate fresh and compelling insights;
• We are committed to research and practice which is inclusive, ethical and just;
• We value different forms of knowledge and aim to amplify diverse perspectives to challenge conventional thinking and structures of power;
• We recognise the interdependence of the natural and human worlds and the urgent need to develop social, economic and political institutions that deliver planetary regeneration and resilience.
