Fostering Structural
Innovation

We seek to foster a new generation of structural innovations with the potential to address problems of historic proportions.

goal

Foster
structural
innovations

When the problem is so entrenched that there are no single silver bullet solutions, Economic Architecture seeks to foster a new generation of structural innovations with the potential to create impact at the magnitude of the problem.

Objective 1

Introduce A
Framework

Our first objective is to enable people to see the complex nature of the problem, understand the need for structural innovations to address it and have the tools to identify them.

Objective 2

Identify Supply
of Innovations

Our second objective is to increase the supply of innovations with the potential to meaningfully impact the problems, by partnering with innovators proximate to the problem. This involves identifying the most powerful innovations and challenging the most promising innovators and entrepreneurs to take on these ideas, to improve upon and surpass them with innovations of their own.

Objective 3

Build DEMAND
FOR INNOVATIONS

Our third objective is to increase demand amongst the partners, funders investors, policy makers and many others that those innovations will need to succeed.
This involves engaging prospective partners from the outset in low cost, high insight generating activities through which they will build an understanding of and interest in the emerging structural innovations.

Plan

collaborative
challenge

Each of these three objectives is woven through a five-stages collaborative innovation challenge process
