Radical change requires rigorous preparation: We are doing this work.❋
The economy isn't failing. It's succeeding at the wrong things.
The system will not change itself.
Wealth concentration, corporate power, and neocolonial extraction are not accidents. They are the system working as intended. Many of the greatest challenges we face, from the intrusive power of Big Tech to the existential threats of climate change and biodiversity loss, are fuelled by a political-economy idea of growth.
This must change. But how?
The Future Economy Incubator exists to help create pathways, frameworks, and strategies for systemic economic transformation. We work with social movements and uncommon change agents, building political power outside the system, because the system will never change itself.
Why We Exist❋ Advancing alternative thought leadership.
❋ Creating new spaces for collaboration.
❋ Building power outside the system.
Recent Initiatives
-
Designing Climate Reparations Campaigns
Working with frontline movements to develop credible reparations frameworks, the Future Economy Incubator hosted a workshop at the Wakati Wetu Festival in Nairobi in October 2025, exploring how colonialism, capitalism, and climate injustice intersect through corporate power, and what reclaiming wealth could look like in practice.
-
Mapping the infrastructure of economic neocolonialism
The Future Economy Incubator is working with a collaborative group to visualise neocolonial economic structures across Africa, exposing how the European colonial playbook has been adapted and replicated to extract wealth from the continent.
-
Turn the Volume Up
Collaborating with organizations across four continents, the Future Economy Incubator is driving a communications campaign to amplify radical economic thinkers. The aim is to build a stronger sense of momentum using social and alternative media.
If we want radical economic change, we need to prepare better and work differently.
