Since 2000, we at Quadriga have stood for curiosity, expertise and entrepreneurship. Rooted in Berlin and networked throughout the German-speaking world, we have established ourselves as a reliable training partner and media company with a strong reputation.
We bring together a growing community of experts and managers from business, politics, science and the media and maintain strong relationships with our network. As a platform for knowledge and exchange, we actively shape future topics.
Our team currently comprises almost 200 people in over 20 teams, organized in two GmbHs - united on one campus in the heart of the capital. Here, we work with customers, teachers and partners as equals and continue to develop together.
What makes us special? Team spirit, openness and the will to grow - as a company and as a community. From our start-up beginnings to the present day, we have been driven by the desire to constantly provide new impetus for our community.

Torben Werner and Rudolf Hetzel jointly found the German Press Academy (depak). In addition, the Politikaward is presented for the first time this year.
