Our story

ZEG was founded in Georgia — a small country at the edge of Europe where history has a habit of arriving early.

We are interested in ideas before they become fashionable, voices outside the usual centres of power and conversations that cross borders — geographic, professional and ideological.

Since 2019, ZEG has grown from one gathering in Tbilisi into an international community stretching across continents and disciplines.

We work with select brands, foundations, media organisations, universities, cultural institutions and public bodies that help make ZEG possible.

Selected partners and supporters, past and present, include:
