The Mauritius Chapter of Catalyst Now is part of a global movement of social innovators driving systemic change to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Through our Monthly Conversation Cafés, we bring together government, business, and civil society to explore practical solutions—from Blue Carbon Finance to Smart Agriculture—while fostering pathways for youth to participate in and lead green, future-oriented industries.

Guided by the spirit of “Lame dan Lame” (Hand in Hand), we are building a resilient, inclusive, and equitable future for Mauritius—where young people can thrive in emerging green sectors.
