International Partners

13 Partners. 16 Countries. 1 Network.

About Us

The Aspen Institute’s International Partners are on the frontlines of the defining challenges of our time, connecting global leaders, convening critical conversations, and catalyzing bold solutions. 

Around the world, The Aspen Institute’s International Partners bring people together to take on the defining challenges of our time. Through courageous leadership and global collaboration, they spark ideas, build trust, and drive change in their communities and around the globe. Since 1974, the Aspen Institute has inspired 13 International Partners in 16 countries: Central Europe (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia,) Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Romania, Spain, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

Over the past half century, the global network has grown alongside the Aspen Institute in the United States, meeting a rising demand for the Institute’s proven methods for leadership development and problem-solving.

The Aspen idea continues to expand, most recently with the launch of the Aspen Initiative in Africa-Nairobi. Each branch of the Aspen family tree shares a common mission to drive change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve the most important challenges facing the world.
