About us
Belonging Beyond Borders.
We believe international students do not struggle for lack of programmes, but for lack of encounters. iNZi Global makes sure a tandem suggestion becomes a real meeting.
Why iNZi exists
Arriving is more than enrolling.
When you move to a new country, you soon have an address, a student number and a bank account. What takes far longer is having people nearby to share a coffee with, practise the language with and get to know the city with.
Universities know this and run buddy and tandem programmes. But the organisation often rests on a few people in the International Office. iNZi takes the manual work off their hands and shows what their work achieves.
Who is behind it
From the Osnabrück region, for German universities.
iNZi Global is part of JCM Group GbR, based in the Osnabrück region. We build iNZi around what German universities need: data protection, accessibility and little extra work for the International Office.
We are developing iNZi together with our first partner universities. Their feedback decides what gets built next.
What we stand for
Four principles you can hold us to.
Encounters over screen time
For us, success means a meeting on campus, not as much time in the app as possible. That is why the confirmed meeting is our key figure.
Privacy as the foundation
Servers in Germany, each university's data kept strictly apart, no trackers and no advertising. Not an add-on, but from the start.
Accessible from day one
Designed to WCAG 2.1 AA, with measured contrast and full keyboard operation. A programme for all students must be usable by all students.
Explainable, not a black box
Every tandem suggestion gives its reasons. You should be able to explain to any committee how iNZi works.
