Corporate Vision The result is more than highly rated training. Participants leave better prepared to live, lead, collaborate and build trust across cultures, creating measurable value for their organizations. This is reflected in the significant strides crossculture academy has made since its inception, its efforts spanning 150 countries and 20 languages with a 99% customer satisfaction rate. crossculture academy supports its services with an ongoing pursuit of excellence, instilled within every member of the team. “We love professional development, which is why we don’t just sell it; we regularly attend professional development, to keep challenging ourselves and improving how we work,” said Steffen. “In addition, we launch projects to sharpen the impact of our training and e-Learning courses and further improve the customer experience. We keep evolving, not because we have to, but because we are passionate about what we do and believe strongly in the value it brings both to individuals and organisations.” This can also be said for crossculture academy’s approach to product development; upon identifying an underserved need in the market, the team moves to create something that fulfills it. Most recently, the team observed that, while it provides books and training for expat children, there was nothing available to support teenagers in international transitions. When families move abroad, it is fundamental that everyone receives adequate preparation and care. So, crossculture academy developed In Transit – A Journal for Teens Moving Abroad. The project reflects the academy’s belief that successful international assignments involve not only employees, but all the people who share the journey with them. Looking ahead, crossculture academy remains committed to helping organizations build the capabilities needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and yet polarised world. By continuously expanding its expertise, digital learning portfolio and global trainer network, the academy is shaping the future of intercultural competence—one successful collaboration at a time. Such endeavours promise to strengthen crossculture academy’s global impact, reinforcing the organisation’s position as Europe’s Best Intercultural Training Provider 2026.

Based in Stuttgart, Germany, the academy specialises exclusively on intercultural success, designing solutions that help organisations prepare employees for international assignments, strengthen global leadership and build high-performing international teams through training, coaching, e-learning and consulting services.

The organisation serves clients from around the world, comprising individuals preparing for international work, organisations seeking to enhance their global teams’ communication and collaboration capabilities, expatriates looking to navigate cultural transitions and the global leaders driving it all. At its heart, everyone at crossculture academy believes that cultural differences are not barriers to overcome, but opportunities to create stronger teams, better leadership and more successful organizations. The academy offers pre-assignment training for expatriates; training programmes encompassing global leadership, cooperation across cultures, intercultural team development, and more; and an extensive library of e-Learning courses that cover a wide range of topics, from the basics of intercultural communication to specific country trainings.
