“Is there courage, is there hope? The answer is: yes!”
Bénédicte Savoy, Vice Chair of the Allianz Foundation Board of Trustees

Hello world! Enabling better living conditions for the next generations, that is the Allianz Foundation’s mission. We are doing this together with Risktakers from across Europe and the Mediterranean who are committed to open, diverse societies and climate justice.

These were the people who came together at our launch event – inspiring pioneers from civil society, from art and culture or environmental movements. People and organizations with diverse backgrounds and agendas, but united in their determination to work today on solutions for a better tomorrow.
