The Impact Coalitions team works with committed mission-driven partners looking to solve important problems for the benefit of all that are too big to solve on their own. The partnerships bring the new paradigm of innovation to bear on Canada's challenges to grow the climate economy, foster healthy communities, and build inclusive smart cities across Canada. Current projects include 'Mission from MaRS’ (building coalitions to address the global climate crisis by rapidly accelerating the adoption of Canada’s most impactful carbon-reducing innovations), 'Pandemic Intelligence Trusted Exchange Network’ (conceptualising a platform to help public health trace COVID cases faster than it can spread by utilizing commercial data already collected by businesses - mobile phones, payment, transit, etc.) and 'Emergence Room’ (prototyping an "experiment attractor" in collaboration with Demos Helsinki’s Untitled project, in support of institutional and community innovators looking to change dominant systems, to build forward better).
