By convening the best minds working on the boldest ideas, we drive technological convergence. This leads to actionable concepts for a more sustainable and prosperous world in alignment with the UN Sustainable development goals as well as our five pillars: sustainability, transparency, decentralization, individual privacy and collaboration.

“The Digital Economist defines a bold vision and investable opportunities for a new human-centered digital economy based on sustainability, transparency, decentralization, individual
privacy and collaboration,” says CEO Navroop Sahdev. This involves attracting – and conscientiously vetting – startups and other innovators. The top candidates then have a chance to enter our incubator. At the same time, we sensitize investors to the concepts with the greatest promise for sustainable development.
