"Instigating human progress through entrepreneurial action".

We do so by operating in the roles of:

• think/do tank
• strategic connector
• venture catalyst

within and across the private, public and civil society sectors, since entrepreneurial action occurs throughout society and is not confined to any one sector *.

We offer a unique organizational experience gained from 120 initiatives in 30 countries ** during our first 19 years delivering:

• Agenda-setting Events: global conferences, fora and other events.
• Business + Civic Projects: networks, alliances and ventures that integrate the aspirations of progressive entrepreneurs with those of society.
• Learning Activities: leadership & enterprise development programmes, thought-leadership pieces.

* "Progressio" is the Latin genitive of "progressus", i.e. progress. To us, pursuing progress is one of the fundamental purposes of humankind.  "Progressive" actions lead to progress.  Our use of "progressive" originated in 1987, prior to creating the foundation.  It eschews political ideologies and it equates with far-sightedness, transformation, modernization, change and purposeful adaptation.  The Progressio logo showing 3 circles represents the 3 sectors: private (market), public (state) and non-profit (civil society); it was conceived in 1988.

** The 30 countries where we have operated to date are as follows: Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, USA, Canada, Brazil, India, China, Kenya, Ecuador, Belgium, France, Israel, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Mauritius, Finland, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Botswana, South Africa, Jordan, Afghanistan.
