Mission Partnerships
We build mission-driven partnerships between governments, businesses and civil society to strengthen democracy by addressing challenges and solving specific problems, which no one could solve on their own.
What are Mission Partnerships?
We bring the right people to the table, creating a space for innovation. We then guide a collaborative process, together with government, business, and civil society, from idea to impact.
Whether it’s achieving CO₂-neutral industrial transformation, building circular economies, or using Artificial Intelligence to strengthen democracy, Mission Partnerships turn collaboration into solutions that stick.
Our Approach:
Five Strategic Levers
Convening Power
We bring together the right stakeholders, from government, business, and civil society, to create a strong coalition for change. Our neutral platforms ensure that all interests are balanced.
Building Consensus
Through structured dialogue and collaborative processes, we align diverse interests and create a shared vision. Our approach fosters trust, commitment, and a clear path forward.
Best Practice Exchange
We connect our partners with international best practices, successful case studies, and innovative approaches. Learning from others accelerates progress and minimizes risks.
Community Leverage
The needs of transformation always create uncertainty and risk. By including as many stakeholders as possible in the process, we bring security and cultivate broad acceptance.
Reducing Complexity
We break down complex challenges into manageable steps. By providing clear roadmaps, structured processes, and expert facilitation, we help partners move from vision to action.

How We
Work
Directly
We are a team of experienced advisors with diverse backgrounds, ensuring the success of a Mission Partnership by rolling up our sleeves and doing everything that needs to be done.
Collaboratively
We co-create and co-facilitate, not as an agency, but as a true partner. We share the entire journey: the challenges, the dedication, and the tough moments that come with every major transformation.
Dynamically
Every Mission Partnership is different and calls for fresh thinking that fits both purpose and partners. That includes our approach to funding models, which must be agreed upon by all partners.
What We Deliver
Platform Development & Mission Management
From the moment of conception, we ensure things stay on track, coordinating with partners to build out the infrastructure for effective long-term delivery.
Event Facilitation & Best Practice Exchange
When it comes to events, we do things differently – creating innovative formats and using smart tools to connect participants and partners before, during, and after.
Expert Engagement & Content Curation
We build a network around the mission and apply our deep experience to ensure maximum relevance and impact from the expertise brought to the table.
Partner Outreach & Mobilisation
We foster active participation by onboarding and mobilizing stakeholders, creating opportunities for exchange, and strengthening partnerships.

What our partners say
-
Circular economy and re-use have great potential to contribute to a sustainable transformation. I look forward to the conference, to exciting conversations and valuable initiatives.
ERICH HAIDER
Chairman of the board and CEO of LINZ AG -
Improving politics is essential for democracy in a changed environment. So we need to provide encouragement and rewards – like the European Capital of Democracy initiative does – for providing new and real democracy to all.
AXELLE LEMAIRE
Former French Minister of State for Digital Affairs -
Digital tools for democratic participation present us with a real opportunity. They provide people who struggle to get involved – such as women busy with care work – with a chance to take part in the decision-making process.
ELISABETH MAYR
Deputy Mayor of Innsbruck, Representative of the Austrian Association of Cities and Towns -
Safe Democracy sets a strong example for co-determination and transparency. Together, we confront the challenge of laying the foundations for a secure, participative future.
JÜRGEN CZERNOHORSZKY
Executive City Councillor for Climate, Environment, Democracy and Personnel, Vienna -
We need to manage change in democracy if we do not want the enemies of democracy to do it for us.
IVAN KRASTEV
Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies -
Safe Democracy is the ideal platform for us to work together to improve our democratic services, to boost the quality of life of our citizens, and to improve our resilience to disinformation.
THOMAS WENINGER
General Secretary of the Austrian Association of Cities and Towns -
Values like truth, democracy, and independent thinking are heavily under attack. And all of them are important pillars of prosperity – let us protect them!
ANDREAS TREICHL
Chairman of ERSTE Foundation -
In Linz, we've set ourselves a major task: to achieve climate neutrality in the most energy intensive industry of all. This convention is Linz's forum to promote ongoing exchange between businesses, interest groups, universities, administrations and politics.
DIETMAR PRAMMER
Mayor of Linz -
I am a big believer in engaging people in the development of the cities and places where they live. Authentic and transparent local politics may help to fix the trust in democracy.
MATÚŠ VALLO
Architect, City Activist, and Mayor of Bratislava -
The H2 Convention in Linz provides us with a platform for an even stronger supra-regional network and international exchange of experiences. It allows us to break down barriers, to learn from one another, and to drive forward the building of the hydrogen economy across borders.
