Our Aims
We work alongside our partners, using our curation and convening power, networks and resources to:
- Strengthen the new economy ecosystem, understanding and supporting the shared needs of the field and strengthening the ‘connective tissue’ between organisations and actors.
- Mobilise resources, introducing new funders to the field and encouraging existing funders to keep looking to the edges of new thinking and practice.
- Grow the field, encouraging new and expanding lines to be drawn around who and what is part of it, and building bridges with other social and ecological movements.
- Enable alignment, coherence and collaboration as the new economy field grows and changes, supporting others to situate themselves within a wider ecosystem, valuing different routes to change and unlocking collective power.
When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system.

Gatherings: annual convening
Each year, we resource and host a global gathering for people committed to bringing about economic systems change. It’s a key opportunity for hundreds of thought leaders, changemakers, funders, and others working across the new economy field and its intersecting movements to come together, share thinking and practice and build collective power.

It feels Possible Now: audio recording
What would a new economy that serves the future be, look and feel like? Who must be part of this new economy, and of making it happen? In this audio encounter co-created by New Constellations, you’ll hear dreams and reflections from our partners, painting a collective picture of a new economy that allows all people and nature to flourish, and how we might start building it.

Narrative Lab
A partnership with Culture Hack Labs, the New Economies Narrative Lab brings a pioneering methodology for narrative-led systems change to the global new economy ecosystem. In 2024, we ran the first Lab bringing together 50 new economy changemakers from 21 countries to learn and apply CHL’s five-phase method to their work.

Clusters of collaboration
We support the development of thematic collaborations between partners, where there is need for stronger alignment, coordination, or joint working across organisations and sectors. Sparked by the Mission Labs we ran in 2023, collaborations have focused on: monetary policy and financial supervision, economics education and curriculum change, political strategy across Europe, public and private finance.
