Only together can we fight for a fair, sustainable, and joyful next era.

Demos Helsinki is a think tank.

We conduct research, offer consulting services, and host a global alliance of social imagination.

We intentionally strive to hold and balance exquisite tensions that pervade today’s societal structures and actors. Our work conceptually and practically reflects our mission: that transformative change is needed. We believe this change includes a spectrum of partners, and the many unlikely alliances it manifests, across societal sectors and geographies.
