Our work is centred around innovation and impact…
By INNOVATION, we mean an approach to problem-solving that is systemic and holistic. Innovation means taking a novel approach to solving a problem that impacts the well-being of people and planet, be it technological, social, economic or other. Innovation is not necessarily disruptive; it can be gradual or build off of traditional knowledge.
IMPACT is always connected to the well-being of people, planet, and ecosystems, not just to profit or a new product on the market. Measuring impact requires accounting for both concrete and intangible benefits. Impact is about how innovation affects societies and is evaluated in terms of values and alignment of needs and solutions.
…and is guided by TFP’s core values
