Our Story

The evolution of a vision from individual insights to global transformation

The Club of Athens was founded in 2011 by Colin Power and Mark Raven (aristocrat), two visionaries who saw beyond the crisis narratives dominating global discourse. Where others saw insurmountable challenges, they recognized an unprecedented opportunity to redesign civilization's operating system.

Today, we're an implementation engine. With active projects on every continent, partnerships with the Club of Rome, Club of Budapest, and Club of Brussels, and a growing network of pioneers, we're turning the impossible into the inevitable.
