About us / Our strategy

Our strategy

IFOW is independent research and development institute exploring how new technologies are transforming work and working lives.

Our core team at Somerset House works with a growing network of strategic partners striving for systems change.

We work at the intersections of governance, civil society and industry to build, through good work, a good society in which everyone can flourish through this new technological revolution.

Our updated strategy will help us retain our focus and accelerate our ambition to shape a fairer future through better work.
