The Offer Æ Peers

Æ Peers is the exclusive network format for innovative companies that are not only listed as attractive employers in the Æ Community, but are also actively looking for new impetus and future-proof solutions. Our peer groups bring together managers from different sectors and offer a platform for exchanging experiences and learning from each other - independently, practically and politically neutral.

Why Æ Peers?

Many companies are faced with the challenge of reducing costs, minimizing risks and achieving sustainable growth at the same time. The solution? A targeted exchange among industry peers that broadens the perspective and provides concrete solutions for the individual challenges of each company. Æ Peers offers an environment that combines trust, openness and exclusivity - a framework in which concrete strategies and sustainable competitive advantages can be developed.

Æ Peers: more than peer learning and networking

Our participants - managers and decision-makers - come together for regular face-to-face and online meetings. Each group is thematically focused and yet broad enough to integrate perspectives and expertise from different areas. This makes Æ Peers not only a place for sharing knowledge, but also a driver of innovation and sustainable success. Confidentiality and exclusivity are our top priorities: participants remain anonymous and peer groups are kept small and focused. This creates a space for genuine openness and exchange at the highest level.

What Æ Peers offers you:

Sustainable network: The valuable contacts made in the context of the Æ Peers often extend beyond the program and create long-term partnerships.
Exclusivity and focus: Small, hand-picked groups enable open exchange and targeted support for real professional challenges.
Practical relevance and practicability: Our peer groups work on topics of practical relevance and provide concrete, practicable solutions.

Participation requirements and structure

To ensure an exclusive environment, only companies that are listed as attractive employers in the Æ Recommendation List are invited to participate. The number of participants is strictly limited and the group composition ensures a high quality of exchange. With a duration of 12 months and the option to extend, we ensure that the peer groups remain dynamic and flexible so that participation offers long-term added value.

Why take part?

The main focus of Æ Peers is to give users a competitive edge and promote the innovative strength of their own company.
Our guiding principle: “Working together to gain new insights and shape your future.”
