Strategic Partnerships That Drive Market Understanding
We build relationships with institutions, research centers, and data providers who share our commitment to rigorous macroeconomic analysis. These connections enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive trading education grounded in real-world economic dynamics.
Why Partnership Matters in Financial Education
Teaching macroeconomic analysis isn't something you do alone. The field changes fast—new indicators emerge, old patterns shift, central bank policies evolve. We stay relevant by working with organizations that bring specialized knowledge we can't replicate internally.
Our partners include academic institutions conducting monetary policy research, data analytics firms tracking cross-border capital flows, and regional economic think tanks monitoring Asian market developments. Each relationship brings specific expertise that enriches our curriculum.
- Access to proprietary economic datasets not available through standard channels
- Guest lectures from economists analyzing current geopolitical trade dynamics
- Early insights into emerging market trends affecting currency valuations
- Collaborative research on inflation patterns across different economic systems

Einar Bjørnstad
Partnership Development Director
Einar spent twelve years working in institutional finance before transitioning to education partnerships in 2019. He identifies organizations whose research aligns with our curriculum needs and structures agreements that benefit both students and partner institutions. His background in fixed income markets helps him evaluate which economic datasets actually matter for trading education.
Sílvia Navarro
Academic Collaboration Manager
Sílvia coordinates with university economics departments and research centers across three continents. She arranges guest lectures, manages joint research projects, and ensures academic partnerships produce content our students can actually use. Before joining us in 2021, she coordinated international economics conferences and understands how academic insights translate into practical trading knowledge.
How We Build Partnerships That Last
We're selective about partnerships because our students depend on the quality. Each relationship follows a structured approach that ensures mutual benefit and long-term sustainability.
Alignment Assessment
We evaluate whether a potential partner's research focus, data quality, and institutional values match our educational standards. This takes about six weeks and involves reviewing their recent publications, methodology rigor, and track record.
Pilot Collaboration
We start small—typically a single guest lecture or limited dataset access. This tests whether the partnership delivers practical value to students before we commit to larger initiatives. Most pilots run three to four months.
Structured Integration
Once a pilot succeeds, we develop formal agreements outlining data access, content collaboration, and student interaction opportunities. We schedule regular reviews every quarter to address any issues and adjust scope as needed.
Interested in Educational Partnership?
We're open to conversations with institutions conducting serious macroeconomic research, data providers with unique market insights, or academic centers focused on international finance. If your organization produces work that could enhance trading education, let's talk about potential collaboration.
