The Zero Project Network

"Zero Project has created a community of friends who are glad and ready to help each other at any time. I see the Zero Project as a big convening power focused on innovating continuously and adapting to change."

The Zero Project's mission is to find and share solutions that create a world with zero barriers. Innovative solutions from around the world, which are identified in a thorough peer-reviewed research process, are made visible to a global network of experts, decision-makers, opinion leaders, and other changemakers. By fostering close collaboration between all parts of this global network, the impact of solutions can be amplified and replicated elsewhere.

The Zero Project believes that it is this diversity in relationships that makes the Zero Project Network unique and effective:

Cross-sectoral impact of inclusive solutions, global knowledge transfer, and the engagement of decision-makers with experts to effectively steer inclusion in our society, are just some examples of how the Zero Project's Network actively helps to remove barriers.
