Quartz was founded in 2012 to be the greatest ally and resource for purpose-driven professionals in search of the new approaches to business. Quartz's journalists around the world produce smart and insightful analysis of the global economy to help their readers discover new industries, new markets, and new ways of doing business that are more sustainable, innovative, and inclusive.
