” Katerva’s mission is to create the world’s first truly open global platform for change.”

Today’s challenges are unprecedented in scope and scale. Witness the global financial crisis, environmental degradation, rapid urbanization, social unrest from wealth and religious gaps, and the rise in contagious diseases.

Traditional institutions are well-suited to incremental change or maintaining the status quo, but they are ill-equipped to help society respond to these game-changing global challenges.

A new structure is required – one founded on the principles of inclusiveness, collaboration and transparency. Katerva has created exactly that – a global network of action designed to convene, catalyze and accelerate breakthrough solutions to global challenges.

Our network of action is made up of six distinct networks:

• experts and thought leaders
• media entities
• corporations and NGOs
• policy makers
• iconic individuals
• the general public.

This little organic restaurant in Ginza has a delicious lunch buffet with hearty foods and pictures of each farmer and farm above the spread.  The mushrooms are grown right there, in a big humidity and temperature controlled glass box with rotating shelves like an industrial oven.  Now that is truly freshness embodied.
