Our Vision
Imagine if NZZ created a programme focused on understanding the macroeconomic forces shaping our world—from geopolitical shifts to economic trends and ecological challenges.
This is exactly what the NZZ Academy offers. It serves as a beacon for guidance, clarity, and action. Inspired by NZZ's commitment to independent journalism, critical inquiry, and a liberal ethos of dialogue, the Academy explores society, geopolitics, sustainability, and strategy. Our vision aligns with the holistic perspectives of global institutions.
The NZZ Academy promotes a deep understanding of global, regional, and industry-specific challenges, empowering participants to adapt, lead, and shape this dynamic environment. Join us in creating a resilient, prosperous, and enlightened future.
