Our mission is to strengthen transatlantic partnerships through cultural exchange, business collaboration, and shared innovation. By connecting communities across North Carolina and Germany, we foster understanding, economic opportunity, and artistic inspiration on both sides of the Atlantic.
In recognition of the long-standing German/European-American transatlantic relationship, the program of the Foundation focuses on the exchange of societal and governmental thought and theory, art exhibitions, and cultural and social events.
Since its inception in 2014, The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation has strongly supported economic development and growth in the Greater Charlotte Region, including initiatives to brand and promote the Carolinas as a premier US location for international business, trade, and investment.
