Development and management of educational programs, learning paths and learning content
We design targeted educational programs with clear learning objectives, practical content, and innovative learning formats. In doing so, we take into account individual learning progress and current educational requirements.
Impact of education
matrix makes educational successes visible: We develop impact-oriented concepts and support programs with suitable monitoring and evaluation methods to systematically record and improve impact.
Political communication in the education ecosystem
We shape political communication processes in the education sector – in a targeted, strategic manner and at the interface between practice and politics. In doing so, we strengthen positions, moderate interests and promote dialogue.

We offer all services from a single source. Whether web, print, or anything else. Come and discover a world of possibilities.
We work in a values-based and impact-oriented manner.
Together with partners from schools, local communities, academia, and businesses, we create spaces for learning and development, open up opportunities, and actively contribute to the Global Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically regarding:
SDG 4 - Quality Education
matrix strengthens high-quality education by creating open learning opportunities, digital tools, and strong networks for STEM education. Together, we enable children, young people, and professionals to access future-relevant skills – inclusively, practically, and everywhere.
SDG 5 - Gender Equality
The zdi.Heroines campaign strengthens the visibility of women in STEM professions. With formats like zdi Heroines October and programs specifically for girls – such as the zdi Girls' Camp – participants have the opportunity to experience STEM firsthand, discover their own abilities, and build confidence in their strengths.
SDG 8 - Reduced Inequalities
We develop strategies and formats to activate hard-to-reach target groups – especially people with limited access to education (ETI groups). The goal is equal participation in educational opportunities.

Different people and disciplines come together at matrix with exciting projects and initiatives. Together we work with a lot of passion on our topics. Good ideas and delicious cakes always find buyers with us.
