The TransCap Initiative exists to improve the way sustainable finance is purposed, designed, and managed so that money can become a transformative force in building a low-carbon, climate-resilient, just, and inclusive society. We believe that the key to accomplishing this vision is to inspire and enable investors to leverage the insights and tools of systems thinking and complex systems science for addressing the most pressing societal challenges of the 21st century.
The TransCap Initiative is a think-and-do-tank at the nexus of real-economy systems change, sustainability, and finance. Our mission is to build the field of systemic investing. We do so by building a collaborative innovation space for developing, testing, and scaling systemic investing through research and prototyping and by nurturing a community of practice.
There is a window of opportunity. An opportunity to rethink value in the 21st century, reimagine the purpose of capital markets, and test new paradigms, structures, and practices of investment. Yet while the time to act is now, how exactly financial capital needs to be deployed to build a low-carbon, climate-resilient, just, and inclusive society remains largely unclear.
So we invite challenge owners, systems thinkers, innovation practitioners, investment professionals, ecosystem shapers, and creative voices to join us in figuring out how to deploy financial capital in service of a prosperous and sustainable future for all.
