The Future Economy Report 2026 shows that changemakers across Europe are prioritising organisational transformation over product-level interventions. Shared decision-making, innovative business models, and strong organisational culture are emerging as the key drivers of long-term impact.

This reveals that what happens inside an organisation may be just as important as the solutions it delivers.

What does it take to turn a vision for a better economy into reality?

For many changemakers, the biggest hurdles aren't ideas.

They are

💰 funding gaps,

📉 financial instability, and

🤝 the challenge of balancing purpose with sustainability.

Yet, despite these barriers, entrepreneurs are choosing action.

They are transforming their organisations from the inside out through shared decision making, participatory governance, and values-driven cultures that reflect the future they want to create.
