From Polycrisis to Possibility

ALTOP Launches International Magazine forum future economy

The German ALTOP publishing house is launching forum future economy, a new international platform and starts with a lighthouse magazine dedicated to showcasing solutions for a regenerative, just, and future-ready economy. Developed through a global co-creation process, the magazine is published in collaboration with partners from different regions of the world and brings together perspectives from business, politics, civil society, and innovation ecosystems.

At a time marked by overlapping global crises - climate change, biodiversity loss, geopolitical tensions, and social fragmentation - forum future economy shifts the focus from problem analysis to possibility. The magazine makes visible what often remains unseen: practical solutions, scalable business models, and pioneering initiatives that are already working today.

"We are surrounded by narratives of crisis and limitation,” says Fritz Lietsch, founder of ALTOP Publishing House. "But around the world, people are already proving that a different kind of economy is possible. forum future economy makes these solutions visible, connects them, and scales what works. It is not about describing the future - it is about enabling it.”

Rather than presenting a single narrative, forum future economy is designed as a magazine and online-platform for exchange and collaboration. It will be co-created with regional partners, ensuring local relevance while contributing to a shared global learning process. This approach allows successful ideas to travel across sectors, cultures, and geographies - and supports the transfer and scaling of proven solutions.

The first issue features examples ranging from clean and profitable technologies validated by the Solar Impulse Foundation to regenerative agriculture and tourism initiatives that foster peace and livelihoods, and projects that transform refugee camps into regenerative ecosystems.

All articles illustrate a central message: transformation is already underway—and it can be accelerated through cooperation.

Beyond technological and economic innovation, forum future economy emphasizes the cultural and human dimensions of change. The magazine aligns itself with both the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), highlighting the importance of empathy, collaboration, foresight, and responsibility as foundations for lasting transformation.

"Systemic change does not happen in isolation,” says Walter Link, partner at NOW Partners Global. "It happens when people across sectors and regions learn from one another and co-create new pathways forward. forum future economy is an invitation to participate—to contribute experience, to build partnerships, and to turn isolated success stories into systemic impact.”

Published by ALTOP Publishing House in collaboration with international partners, forum future economy invites people, projects and organizations worldwide to join the forum, contribute their perspectives, and actively participate in shaping an economy that is fit for life, not just for profit.

The first international edition of forum future economy can be downloaded in a 1-page or 2-page view. We are happy about Your feedback.
