The economy is a story and a system made by people.
We the people can remake it.
Imperative 21 is a global network shaping economic narratives and reimagining systems so that everyone, everywhere can thrive.
We catalyze breakthrough narratives that accelerate the movement to redesign an economic system that cares about people and not just profit.
As part of a larger movement of those already leading, the Imperative 21 network inspires and equips aligned yet hesitant decision-makers in business, finance, and policy to take bold action together.
