What the world needs now are leaders who serve people, who defend national interest while building bridges of opportunity and respect. The World Academy of Economic Diplomacy (WAED) was created out of this very conviction: that the next generation of diplomats must be bold, grounded, and prepared to protect the values that keep nations free and strong. Based in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, WAED operates as an independent non-governmental organization, uniting ambassadors, policy experts, and global leaders who want to evolve faster, smarter, and with deeper awareness of the will and needs of people. Its programs are designed as intensive two-week experiences, combining strategic insight with applied learning. Participants explore how emerging technologies, sustainability goals, and shifting trade landscapes redefine the language of diplomacy itself. “Economic diplomacy today requires more than eloquence and protocol,” says Ovidiu Stănică, Chairman of the WAED Board of Directors. “It requires an ability to understand data, markets, and technology, and to translate that understanding into global cooperation. That is what we aim to cultivate through WAED.” With a Board composed of experienced ambassadors and international professionals, WAED bridges the credibility of classical diplomacy with the agility demanded by the modern political world. Its purpose is not to replicate existing academic models, but to reimagine training for those who will lead tomorrow’s negotiations, where economy, innovation, and policy converge.
