Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (October 21, 2026) — We Are Innovation keeps growing and expanding to new countries. This time, the organization is happy to announce it secured its 61st partner – Rational Endeavour, from the UK.
Rational Endeavour is a newly established organization devoted to advancing human progress by building a culture of curiosity, optimism, and reason, and encouraging people to take an active interest in a wide range of subjects including science, technology, history, economics, and philosophy. Its current and upcoming projects include The Endeavourist, a bi-monthly magazine, EndeavourCon, an annual conference, Calling the Curious, a series of online events, and two series of educational booklets.
With this new alliance, Rational Endeavour becomes We Are Innovation’s first partner based in the UK. This is extremely relevant, given the country’s strategic influence in global policy, regulation and international affairs. Furthermore, the UK has one of the world’s most dynamic innovation landscapes, supported by leading universities, a strong technology sector, deep investment networks and a well-developed ecosystem for research, entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.
Thomas Walker, founder and director of Rational Endeavour, shares his thoughts on the partnership: “By joining We Are Innovation, I hope that Rational Endeavour will build productive, mutually beneficial relationships with the other member organizations and reach a wider audience of people interested in progress and human flourishing. I can’t wait to see the ideas and projects that will emerge and grow as we work together.”
Federico N. Fernández, CEO of We Are Innovation, says “The UK has shaped global debates on science, policy and innovation for centuries. Having Rational Endeavour as our first British partner gives our network a strong new voice in one of the world’s most influential innovation hubs, and we look forward to building great things together.”
With Rational Endeavour on board, We Are Innovation now brings together 61 organizations across more than 30 countries, from Latin America and Europe to Africa, Asia and the Gulf. Each new partner adds local knowledge and fresh perspectives to a network united by a simple conviction: that innovation, when allowed to flourish, is one of humanity’s most powerful tools for solving its greatest challenges.
