Tällberg’s work program focuses on understanding how to re-inject ethics into leadership; re-establish the legitimacy of governance; and manage, instead of being managed by, disruptive technologies, climate change, mass migration and other phenomena. We seek new thinking for a new world.

We also believe that a new kind of leadership is badly needed for our societies to prosper: leadership that is innovative, courageous, dynamic, rooted in universal values and global in implication. In that spirit, we have established the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, named in honor of Jan Eliasson who is one of the most accomplished global citizens of our era and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to recognize the tremendous support that the Tällberg Foundation receives from SNF.

The Prize is awarded for leaders in any walk of life and from any country who embody global, courageous, innovative and values-based leadership of the kind needed in every aspect of human endeavor.

In 2023, we are awarding three Prizes for established leaders whose track record of accomplishments is substantial and who, in the jury’s judgement, are likely to continue to make important, positive contributions in their chosen field. Each of these awards will carry a $50,000 honorarium.

The Foundation is also building a network of global leaders, which include some of the Prize winners and jury members. They are a select group of individuals from around the world whose work, accomplishments and prospects embody the kind of leadership needed in the 21st century. The underlying idea is that the network can help these leaders accomplish even more by sharing experiences, resources and advice.

The core of Tällberg’s activities are conversations among experts and non-experts aimed at provoking “New Thinking for a New World.” Since the Tällberg Foundation is fundamentally nomadic, these conversations are held wherever they raise the likelihood of generating new insights—ranging from discussions about climate at research stations on the deep ice in Greenland to explorations of disruptive technologies at university labs in New York and Cambridge, MA to discussions about migration in Lesvos and Tangiers. Of course, they are also held online, with input from global leaders, laureates and others.

Tällberg’s podcasts were relaunched at the beginning of this year. These conversations aim to engage wider audiences with the thinking generated within the Foundation’s network and are broadly available.

The Tällberg Foundation funds its global activities through the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, as well as individuals, corporations and the Tällberg SNF Fellows—all of whom believe that if the Foundation did not exist, they would be trying to create it. Now more than ever.
