Coffee Academy is a project launched by CONFIDEA USA, economic and financial consultants in New York, with a view to encouraging rigorous economic research on coffee, through the creation of a research center based in New York.
Envisioned as a joint effort between industry experts, major corporations, coffee organizations and universities from around the world, the mission of the Coffee Academy is twofold:
a) Foster interest among university students (at both the undergraduate and Masters’ level) in the investigation of economic issues related to coffee as part of their thesis, facilitate their research efforts and prepare them for a career in the coffee industry,
b) Enable major coffee companies and associations to direct economic research towards issues that are usually neglected in mainstream market analyses due to their complexity.
The main benefits to participating sponsors will be a) a more organized strategy to identify and select talent for their organizations; b) an opportunity to achieve a deeper understanding on how their business market works through results arising from the sponsored research; c) an increase in their worldwide visibility within the academic community thanks to an extensive advertising campaign of the initiative in several universities around the world.
All participating sponsors will be required to make a financial contribution based upon the number of students endorsed or their interest in supporting the project for brand promoting purposes. For more information, please contact Mr. Giulio Polimeni at
