Rethinking entrepreneurship & innovation: sustainable future

Our Mission

Conventional views of entrepreneurship fall short today. Now, more than ever, there is a pressing need to rethink and collaboratively explore innovative approaches to address global and local challenges like climate change, inequality and global health.

Our Approach

At the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity, we’re redefining entrepreneurship as a practice to question traditional systems, challenge inequality and build alternative models and solutions shaped by cooperation.

Fast Forward 2030

That's why we’ve founded Fast Forward 2030, a network that connects global entrepreneurs and local communities to co-create rooted, resilient, and regenerative change. This is not entrepreneurship as usual. It is entrepreneurship designed for new sustainable economies, new forms of collaboration, and better futures for all.

Fast Forward 2030

Hosted by the IGP, Fast Forward 2030 (FF2030) is a network of impact entrepreneurs using the power of businesses to accelerate change and create shared prosperity for all.
