We are committed to achieving horizon goals that foster transformative change in the lives of individuals and communities worldwide. We define a horizon goal as a fundamental shift from current trajectories—a change significant and enduring enough to reshape possibilities for entire populations. These goals define the signature impact we will pursue with partners, setting the standard for what IREX is known for globally.

Our world outlook—investing in people, cultivating deep connection and cooperation that transcends any single moment in time, and actively building the essential blocks of interpersonal and social trust—serves as the lens through which we approach all our work and pursue these horizon goals.

• Leaders bridge divides: Leaders bridge divides and co-create solutions with communities, public and civic institutions, and the private sector, building trust and delivering results.
• Learners succeed in the world of work: Learners enter dignified work and pursue advancement through education and training that responds to their needs and the evolving world of work.
• People thrive in a technology-, AI- and data-driven world: They exercise agency and independence, make informed choices, drive innovation, and ensure digital progress serves human and community well-being.

These horizon goals are bold, but not utopian. If we work with others, spark global momentum, and channel our collective energy and brain trust wisely, they are within reach. We will hold ourselves accountable for advancing them.
