Upskilling

We make our employees and partner companies future-proof, by offering training programs that leverage innovative technologies, with a strong focus on Generative AI. For those eager to expand their skill sets, we offer an ideal partnership and provide the necessary resources for both personal and professional growth.

Co-Creation

Together with large tech companies, we bring together hard-working individuals into interdisciplinary teams, honing in the knowledge of journalism and tech students. Here, we work on innovative projects at the cross point between journalism and technology.

“We are making independent journalism future-proof. Interdisciplinary work is an important key. For us, technology and journalism belong together. It becomes magical when we combine the best of both worlds and something new emerges from it.”
