Kopernik is an Indonesia-based nonprofit organization and social innovation laboratory dedicated to finding practical, evidence-based solutions to social and environmental challenges faced by underserved communities. Through research, experimentation, and collaboration, Kopernik works to identify what truly works in improving livelihoods, reducing poverty, and creating sustainable impact.
Founded in Bali in 2010, Kopernik takes an innovative approach to development by testing potential solutions before scaling them. Rather than relying on assumptions, the organization gathers real-world data and evidence to understand which interventions can create meaningful and lasting change for communities living in remote and marginalized areas.
At the heart of Kopernik’s work is a commitment to experimentation, professionalism, collaboration, and efficiency. The organization partners with communities, governments, businesses, researchers, and development practitioners to co-create and test solutions that address challenges such as poverty, climate resilience, food security, gender equality, and economic opportunity.
Kopernik envisions a world where all people can realize their full potential, live with dignity, and thrive alongside a healthy planet. By combining human-centered design, rigorous research, and practical innovation, the organization helps ensure that resources are directed toward solutions with proven impact.
Through its work, Kopernik continues to challenge conventional approaches to development, demonstrating that small-scale testing, learning, and adaptation can lead to smarter investments and more effective solutions for social and environmental change.
