Our Work

We Convene.

Cross-disciplinary cohorts of Renaissance Women - scientists, builders, policymakers, and artists - work together to re-envision the world's most urgent regional and global challenges in order to build a better future: climate, health, education, innovation, and the institutions strong enough to make progress hold. Similar to the Italian Renaissance, it is in our Innovation Labs where breakthroughs are made, not by lone geniuses, but by rooms full of people building on each other's intelligence, curiosity, and imagination.

Our Innovation Lab Focus Areas

Our multi-disciplinary cohorts of Renaissance Women work together to advance our focus areas, pairing curious and rigorous
problem-solving with the artistic and cultural dimensions that make innovations sustainable, humane, and worth building toward. Reducing gender, racial, and socio-economic inequality is embedded in every focus area of our work.

Addressing inequity is not one of our focus areas - it is the driving purpose of all our focus areas.
