Our journey
01.
Concept: integrated welfare
At Fast Forward Foundation, we consider “integrated welfare” as a dynamic synergy of public and private efforts, crafting tailor-made services that evolve with individuals throughout their lives. This holistic approach encompasses healthcare, income support, assistance for those in need, and lifelong learning. Welfare services can be provided by various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and private entities.

Operational plan
2023 - 2026
Our three-year Operational Plan serves as the initial and significant step toward realizing our new Purpose. It takes an innovative methodological approach, characterized by an articulated project cycle.
The first phase involves the systematization of existing research within a specific project area, through the elaboration of reports and the organization of co-design workshops aimed at identifying the most effective interventions to address existing challenges.
The second step consists in the implementation of one or more “in-vivo experiments,” namely pilot projects aimed at testing the proper functioning of a previously developed and validated welfare mechanism.
The positive results of these experiments will enable scaling the project to a higher level of complexity to verify its viability in larger and more complex systems
