We're uniting experts, leaders, and changemakers to help reconstruct our global economy.
About us
We combine the ideas, talents, and resources of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address income and information inequality. Through the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy (APIE), we’re uniting Institute experts with a diverse range of public, private and non- profit leaders to help reconstruct our global economy so it drives greater security, opportunity and resilience for all. We’re convening changemakers — from local youth and tribal groups to small and growing businesses to national labor organizations and global corporations — to set new and higher standards for responsible private sector leadership. And we’re connecting people realizing breakthroughs at the community level with those crafting policy at the national and global level, to ensure widespread policy change is informed by what works and what is just.

In Columbia and Latin America, 86% of farmers work informally, and 78% lack access to credit, trapping them in cycles of financial exclusion. Javier Pérez Burgos (Aspen Institute Colombia Fellow) founded WËIA to change this with an innovative “Farm Now, Pay Later” (FNPL) model. Using blockchain technology, WËIA gives farmers access to high-quality supplies on credit, with payments due after harvest. This boosts productivity by 6% on average while promoting sustainability. For empowering smallholders to thrive, adapt to climate challenges, and transform the region’s agriculture, Javier Perez Burgos was named a recipient of the 2024-2025 Global Inclusive Spark Grant, a collaboration between the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and The Aspen Institute.
