History of the company
Eidam & Partner was founded by Markus Eidam in the spring of 2004. He had previously completed his studies in cross-cultural communication and had worked abroad for several years.
What’s really interesting about the first few years is that the company wasn’t actually a company. Because Markus didn’t want to take out a loan, funding was extremely limited. Eidam & Partner was a one-man operation run out of a shared student apartment.
The "wild years": our student apartment
All we had was an idea, a startup website, a few flyers, and a lot of good friends who offered their help for free. Professional and committed, but very small. That’s all there was to the company at first.
The fact that we acquired our first multinational clients so quickly surprised even us, since we were still a company run out of a shared student apartment after two years.
At least now there were 3 computers, bigger flyers and two part-time colleagues who were able to earn at least a little money for their support.
Finally a real office
The move into a more or less representative office and the hiring of our first full-time employee followed in 2007.
By that time, our trainer pool had grown into a solid network of 40 experts – and our client portfolio was expanding just as rapidly.
Digitalization & systemic solutions
The years that followed were defined by two clear developments: On the one hand, we consistently drove digitalization forward – from our first proprietary e-learning modules to online trainings and, ultimately, AI-powered learning tools.
On the other hand, we increasingly moved toward systemic solutions: We don’t stop at our clients’ challenges – we want to identify the underlying root causes and solve them with precision.
Here’s how it looks today!
Today, with more than 80 training solutions, 550 international customers and 200+ senior experts, we rank among the largest cross-cultural consultancies in Europe. And yes – we can now call a truly representative office our own. ;-)
Ever since Eidam & Partner was founded, we’ve always tried to stay different, human and open to change. We’re not primarily interested in making money. We want our work to make a difference – and to be proud of what we achieve!
