Who we are

Platform D is a non-profit impact organisation turning powerful stories into real-world change.

Founded in 2002 in Geneva as dev.tv, it built a strong reputation for accurate, independent, and ethical storytelling, with work broadcast by leading international media including BBC World News, Al Jazeera, TV5MONDE, Euronews, CCTV, and Brut.

Today, Platform D builds on this legacy to design campaigns, productions, and initiatives that deliver concrete impact.

A flagship initiative is the Young Activists Summit (YAS), which supports and amplifies exceptional young changemakers and connects a global community of more than 80,000 people across 192 countries.

Platform D works with NGOs, foundations, international organisations, media, and changemakers to design campaigns and initiatives grounded in accuracy and independence — where storytelling is not the end goal, impact is.

Vision

We believe information and knowledge enable people to act. Our work goes beyond highlighting problems — we seek solutions, new perspectives, and stories that inspire meaningful action. Through strategic campaigns, rigorous journalism, and creative storytelling, we design initiatives and produce content that contribute to positive change.

Outreach

Platform D leads impact campaigns using media, social platforms, and strategic partnerships to raise awareness and mobilize action. Its media productions have been featured by approximately 150 national and international broadcasters, including BBC World News, Euronews, Al Jazeera, Brut, and TV5MONDE. Initiatives such as the Young Activists Summit (YAS) extend this reach further, with over 111 million people reached on social media and a global community of more than 80,000 young people across 192 countries committed to social and environmental justice.
