A Liberal, Progressive and European Foundation

The Fondation pour l'innovation politique has been contributing to pluralist thought and to a revival of public debate since its founding in 2004. It approaches its work from a liberal, progressive and European perspective.

As a platform for expertise, deliberation and debate, the Fondation strives to describe, anticipate and comprehend the constantly evolving French and European societies. The ageing population and increasing weight given to environmental issues and globalization are but a few of the phenomena at work, hastening the emergence of a new world. The study of such transformations and of their impact on our political lives is the core focus of the Fondation's endeavours.

The Fondation would be amiss if it were to limit its activity to observation. While it must play an active role in intellectual debate, it must also—unlike a university research centre—be capable of formulating innovative proposals and recommendations for French and European public and private political, economic and social actors.

The Fondation pour l'innovation politique is an independent organization not subsidized by any political party. It receives both public and private funding and, as a political foundation, is also funded by the offices of the French Prime Minister. Support from both companies and individuals also contribute to the expansion of its activities.
