Our History

RIZOM emerged from a shared initiative between The Cornelius Arts Foundation (TCAF) and Ginkgo lab.'s philanthropic R&D programme to measure the impact of arts and nature on children’s mental wellbeing.

 

What began as a tool to track these effects evolved into a broader platform rooted in care. The first prototype was tested during the ChangeNOW Summit 2025 in Paris.
