Tällberg Foundation

What Tällberg Foundation does

The Tällberg Foundation is a Sweden-based nonprofit think/do-tank, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Stockholm, that convenes global leaders, thinkers, and activists to address compounding global challenges including climate change, mass migration, AI governance, and the legitimacy of democratic institutions. Its core offerings are programmatic rather than technological: workshops and webinars, the 'New Thinking for a New World' podcast series, the annual Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, the Tällberg Leaders Mentoring Leaders (TLML) mentorship program (cohorts in 2024, 2025, and 2026), the Two Basins Initiative focused on the Amazon and Congo River Basins, and 'The Trials of Atlas,' an interactive play exploring AI accountability.

The Foundation does not develop or sell technology products or platforms; its 'products' are convening, recognition, mentorship, and thought-leadership content distributed via its own website, podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Deezer), and social media, as well as through participation in major international conferences such as SNF Nostos. It is funded primarily through donations and grants, with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) identified as the lead supporter for more than 11 years, and supplementary contributions processed through Myriad USA and Every.org for U.S. tax-deductible giving. The Foundation is led by Chairman and CEO Alan Stoga and operates with a small staff of 11-50 employees.
