Changemakers
Supporting the next generation of innovative thinkers.
The Stylus Changemakers initiative harnesses the power of collective knowledge-sharing to change the world for the better. Each year, we celebrate and support the next generation of creators and innovators by extending access to our vital trends reporting and insights to propel their vision forward.
What makes a Changemaker?
Each year, applications open for individuals to nominate either their own boundary-pushing business, or one they admire, to gain complimentary access to our expert cross-industry trends reporting and insights for one year. Stylus Changemakers is a global programme, with applications open to businesses worldwide, and across all industries.
With rich variation in their output, the thread connecting all Changemakers is their purpose. This purpose must align with one or more of our own six core platforms of cross-industry research: Sustainable Futures, Inclusivity Outlook, Digital Worlds, Luxury Perspectives, Wraparound Wellness and Convenience Culture. Our Changemakers are all small, young, inspiring ventures, so applicants’ businesses must be no more than 5 years old.
