Institutions That
Don't Just Support Change—
they invest in it.

At the Organization of American States, we found not just a stage but a champion. Secretary General Luis Almagro always welcomed Futuro projects enthusiastically, reminding us that true hemispheric leadership begins with listening to the next generation.

With Earthjustice, led by Raúl García, we’ve advanced environmental justice from our inception. His mentorship ensures Futuro projects carry legal rigor & moral force—turning passion into policies that protect people & planet.

At the Smithsonian, our participants step inside the world’s largest museum complex to explore culture, history & science as living catalysts. These encounters fuel Futuro projects with depth, creativity & global perspective.

Where Futuro projects find diplomatic voice—amplifying Futuro innovation into policy conversations that shape the Caribbean & beyond.

For years, the Embassy of Mexico in Washington has been a genuine collaborator—where Futuro projects are presented, diplomacy is forged, & hemispheric collaboration comes alive.

With the Mexican Cultural Institute, we fuse heritage & innovation—where art becomes diplomacy and culture powers social entrepreneurship.

Our bridge to the isthmus—where we’ve long presented Futuro projects, and where in 2026 we will host Futuro MMXXVI | City of Knowledge, uniting local impact with global vision.

At the Library of Congress, our project authors mine the world’s largest archive—turning history into the blueprint for innovation and legacy.

With the National Women’s Law Center, we drive justice & women’s leadership—where advocacy meets innovation to shape lasting impact.

At the G20, we declared: education must be rebuilt to serve people, not systems. We advanced our call for a new global model of education—one that unites rigor, lifelong learning & social impact to transform communities & nations.

At SXSW, we launched with Pepsi by our side—proving that corporate allies can fuel social innovation and reimagine education for a new era.

At SXSW 2015, we launched BeNeXT: a pop-up powered by Pepsi, Jarritos & Tito’s that fused art, music & ideas into a declaration to disrupt education & ignite social innovation.

At Georgetown, our roots run deep: alma mater to our founders, host of Futuro, & a bond of service, diplomacy & innovation carried from Albright’s halls to our own.

With Polydelta, founded by Jay Finch, we’ve learned that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about purpose. Through our partnership, Futuro has come to see entrepreneurship and AI not as ends in themselves, but as instruments for social impact and the public good. Jay’s quiet pride in standing with us affirms that progress must be measured not in profits, but in how systems serve humanity.

Georgetown University stands at the intersection of moral inquiry, global affairs, and public responsibility. Situated in the capital of governance, it has long served as a place where power is examined rather than assumed, and where leadership is treated as an ethical burden, not a personal reward. As host institution, Georgetown offers more than proximity to decision-making—it offers a tradition of disciplined thought shaped by diplomacy, public service, and a global conscience. Its presence anchors Futuro MMXXVI in a lineage that values judgment over spectacle and responsibility over ambition, providing a fitting ground for participants tasked with designing work that must endure scrutiny long after the summit concludes.

City of Knowledge is a living experiment in institutional convergence. Built on a former canal zone at the crossroads of continents, it brings together universities, multilateral organizations, research centers, and social innovators working across development, governance, and global cooperation. As a host, City of Knowledge offers more than infrastructure—it offers context. Its campus functions as a hemispheric laboratory where ideas are tested against regional realities, and where collaboration is not symbolic but operational. The presence of international agencies, academic institutions, and civic actors creates an environment where projects are shaped by consequence, not abstraction. For Futuro MMXXVI, City of Knowledge anchors the summit in the lived dynamics of the Global South: a place where leadership is forged through coordination, constraint, and cross-border responsibility. It is a fitting ground for participants tasked with designing work that must move between systems—and endure beyond the summit itself.
