Social progress and liberty are closely inter-linked. Where there is no liberty to inquire and investigate, there can be no economic or social innovation. Liberty allows a society to be open-minded, to embrace change and to progress.
In this spirit, the Progress Foundation promotes the development and spread of classical liberal ideas. The foundation supports scientific research into human progress, identifying beneficial and detrimental influences to civilization and offering these insights to the public. To achieve this, the Progress Foundation organizes seminars and conferences and issues publications. In these and other activities, the foundation cooperates with qualified academics.
The Progress Foundation is a nonprofit foundation under Swiss law and is politically, economically and ideologically independent.
