We are one ecosystem,
let's start working as one.
We do not believe that technology is the single solution to global challenges. However, technology holds the potential of uniting efforts and organising ourselves in new and better ways.
It allows us to zoom out and provide a clear understanding of our place and role in the ecosystem, enabling us to affect systems at a global scale by coordinating collective action

Why we are building Acter
The problem today is not that we lack ideas nor solutions to solve global challenges, but that we are disconnected. Disconnected both at a collaborative level and knowledge level - an ironic fact, considering that most people today are connected more than ever through the internet.
The problem is that there is no (infra)structure and no clear overview, which has resulted in a fragmented ecosystem of people, groups, organisations and larger movements working in silos.
This is not new to anyone, however the question and ongoing challenge is:
how do we change this?
As of today, it is hard to know who the others are, where to engage as an individual, who to collaborate with as an organisation, or how to coordinate and share knowledge across initiatives working on the same global challenges.
With Acter we are changing this, leveraging technology to foster new and smarter ways of collaborating, breaking down silos, creating more transparency, inclusion, engagement, empowerment and above all, action!
