We published our first story in 2015 with the ambition of showcasing innovators and solutions advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which launched the same year.
Since that first story, we have been lucky enough to experience many memorable moments, including: signing an MoU as an official media partners for COP23; hosting a St Andrews day reception in the European Parliament in Brussels, as part of the European Innovation Summit programme; bringing Climathon to Glasgow for the first time; creating an ‘Impact Comms programme’ to give a platform to under 25s; leading the world’s first awards event, Global Game Changers, that recognised the work of innovators advancing the UN Global Goals; and – in our role as invested actors, contributing to the UNFCCC-led initiative, Resilience Frontiers.
In December, we published a special World Future Forum edition, our latest publication, produced in collaboration with Allied4Future, organisers of the first-ever Forum held in Lisbon, and look forward to playing our part in making this year’s event a milestone moment for people and planet.

Since our launch in 2015, we have been driven by a desire to connect and collaborate, which you can see in initiatives like the Impact Comms Programme – for women innovators under 25, where the aim is to offer a platform where young creatives can impact and inspire audiences to look at ways they can advance the Global Goals.
On her time spent with the Impact Comms programme, Carlotta de Toni said: “To this day, the best professional experience! Susan Robertson and Iain Robertson you are wonderful human beings applying care and empathy to all you do and everyone you meet. It has been brief, yet incredibly exciting and enriching. I am honoured that I could contribute to the journey of Innovators Magazine and OnePoint5Media – Ad maiora semper!”
Our amazing community of contributors, active in fields including creativity, frontier technologies, global food systems, biotechnology, and social justice, have been sharing inspiring stories for nearly a decade, in the process creating a multimedia resource innovators use to connect with ideas, solutions and potential partners.

In 2020 the magazine’s editor-at-large, Marc Buckley, a global food reformist and member of the World Economic Forum Expert Network, launched his monthly podcast, Inside Ideas. Since then Marc has spoken with Nobel prize winners, like the current interim leader of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus; legendary explorers; UN leaders; world famous systems theorists; moral philosophers – and more, about how we shift people and planet onto the right side of history.
“It has been a wonderful journey and I’m thankful to Susan and Iain for taking me in and allowing me to dream together with them,” Marc said.
We look forward to continuing our journey with you, growing our community and sharing stories that can inspire.
