Catalyst Projects that change systems
Real change is rarely created alone.
We bring together partners, communities, and funders to turn ethical, regenerative ideas into living programmes that create lasting impact for people and the planet.
What is a Catalyst Project?
Ideas designed to ripple outward.
A catalyst project is a hopeful response to a specific challenge.
It’s designed from the start to involve the people, partnerships, and resources needed to create impact in the real world.
It needs reciprocity
Like in nature, energy flows in circles, not straight lines. Everyone contributes, everyone benefits, and communities help shape the outcomes.
It needs aligned partnerships
Catalyst Projects are held by communities, funders, sponsors, and delivery teams working together toward shared impact. They do not succeed in isolation.
How we help you move from vision to impact
Every Catalyst Project is different. Depending on what’s needed, we step in across five areas of support to help move ideas into action.
-
Clarify the challenge, strengthen the vision, and turn early ideas into something people can rally around.
-
Bring together the partners, communities, funders, and delivery experts needed to move the project forward.
-
Lead and support funding applications to programmes such as Horizon and Erasmus+, helping secure the resources needed for long-term impact.
-
Work alongside you throughout the journey, from early design through to implementation and delivery.
-
Some catalyst projects need sponsorship or grant funding with no financial return expected. Others, like Cécile, are investment opportunities designed for both impact and return. We help you find the right fit and structure your involvement clearly from the start.

Reef Voices
A co-designed concept to give coastal communities real-time reef health insights for place-relevant stewardship and decision-making. Developing in partnership with Ocean Revive and NatureDots.
A growing network of aligned partnerships
Catalyst Projects are held by aligned partners — innovators, funders, sponsors, governments, and communities — who share a commitment to ethical, inclusive, regenerative systems.
Here are a few we’re proud to highlight.
