Demos Helsinki is a globally operating, independent think tank that believes in the power of collective action for transformative change. Through research, strategy, capacity-building, and training, they offer a range of services to governments, social enterprises, NGOs, and foundations. They also host a global alliance of social imagination called Untitled.

Unlike many think tanks, Demos Helsinki is project-funded and fully independent, with no political affiliations. They value diverse partnerships and alliances across social sectors and geographies to bring about a fair, sustainable, and joyful next era. Demos Helsinki focuses their work on four critical leverages: expanding agency in decarbonization, transformative governance, regenerative infrastructure, and emancipatory economy.

By pushing these leverages in the desired directions, they aim to contribute to paradigmatic, system-level shifts that transform societies towards a more equitable, sustainable, and joyful future. With democracy embedded in their structure, employees have a significant say in the decision-making process through forums and association membership
