Pioneering systemic change with AI and human leadership.

Pioneering systemic change with AI and human leadership.

At TheShift.Now, we believe real transformation happens where Deep-Tech meets human courage and moves society forward in an aware way.

Main Sponsor AxonJay has been operating for years at the intersection of AI and systemic change. Their technology helps organizations detect signals in complex systems; early signs of movement, friction, and opportunity.

But systems don’t shift because of technology alone.
They shift because people choose to challenge patterns, question defaults, and act with intent.

That is why, in January 2026, TheShift.Now brought a delegation of system shifters to Davos: pioneers who don’t just talk about transformation, but demonstrate it in practice.

TheShift.Now is not a network.
Not an event.


It is a movement; inspired by systems thinking and grounded in action.

We shareD:


50 individual stories of changemakers in motion
12 leverage points being actively shifted
1 collective system shift we commit to delivering by January 2026

From intention to impact.
Micro shifts. Macro consequences.

AxonJay is a Brussels-based AI technology company operating at the frontier of Deep-Tech (data, systems, and human intelligence). Hybrid-AI sits at the core of its Self-Machine-Learning Platform™, guided by a clear conviction: conscious decision-making is essential to building a better world.

AxonJay’s mission is to make complex systems transparent and actionable. Through its proprietary Hybrid-AI Signal technology, the company detects early signals of change across markets, industries, and societies; revealing patterns long before they become obvious.
