Empowering Education Connecting the World

About us

The InterConnected Education Foundation was established by a globally minded family of business executives and entrepreneurs who have studied, worked, and lived across the United States, Europe, and Asia. As global citizens, the founders have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of international education—how it opens minds, fosters empathy, and unlocks opportunities that cross borders and generations. Having built and led companies across multiple continents, the founding family understands the deep interdependence of the world. They have committed their energy and resources to ensuring that future generations of students, educators, and institutions are equally empowered to collaborate, lead, and flourish in a globally connected world.

Our Mission

How to think across cultures, disciplines, and geographies

In a world increasingly shaped by fragmentation, nationalism, and geopolitical tension, the flow of people, ideas, and culture is under pressure. Yet education has always thrived on openness, exchange, and connection. The InterConnected Education Foundation was founded with a deep belief: that the future of learning must be borderless, collaborative, and globally informed. Our mission is to support and empower international educational institutions that share this vision—to foster intellectual connectivity, promote cross-border exchange, and help the next generation learn not only what to think, but how to think across cultures, disciplines, and geographies. We exist to promote exchange, connectivity, and global reach for leading international education institutions. At a time when de-globalization, political fragmentation, and polarization threaten the foundational values of academic cooperation, we invest in institutions and initiatives that build bridges rather than walls.
