Some founders possess the capacity and drive to do exceptional things. Bloomberg New Economy’s 2022 class of Catalysts is a remarkable group of 28 people who are creating more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable outcomes. The legacy of our old economy is a world imperiled by climate transformation, with communities exhausting their finite resources and riven by divides in wealth, education, and quality of life. These pioneers in the new economy are solving such intractable problems as unreliable electricity in Africa, crippling student debt levels in the US, and global overfishing. They show what’s possible when courage and determination are combined with cutting-edge technology. And that’s worth celebrating. —Erik Schatzker
