In the summer of 2011, friends and business partners Nick Logothetis and Matthew Swift had an idea to convene thought leaders in the midst of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to discuss the role of partnerships in combating extremism. What began as a single conversation has since evolved into a global platform dedicated to fostering cross-sector partnerships that drive market-based solutions to today’s most pressing challenges. Concordia believes that collaboration across industries and sectors is key to creating lasting impact.
