We want to share an important update with our contributors and community.
After the FT Group acquired a majority stake in TNW in 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic severely disrupted TNW’s core revenue stream. Despite significant efforts in the years since, no sustainable path to commercial viability was found.
In light of this and the broader financial outlook, the TNW Board has had to make the difficult decision to close its Events & Media division.
TNW Spaces will continue to operate as usual, but the media site will only publish new content until the end of September, and there will be no TNW Conference in 2026.
In response to the announcement, Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, co-founder and board member, shared his reflections:
“TNW has been the adventure of a lifetime. We started out at a unique moment in history, just as the world was moving online and everything was becoming digital. It was a thrill to not only witness that shift, but to help spark and accelerate it.
“Over time, as digital became the norm, our role felt less about breaking new ground and more about celebrating what had already been achieved. I’m grateful we got to play our part, and I’m glad we can now close this chapter with pride.”
We want to thank the contributors and community who made TNW such a special place. You’ve created a unique voice in tech, showcased the best of the industry, and exposed the worst. We’re sad to say goodbye, but grateful for 20 years of memories and an impact that will endure far beyond that.
From the heart of tech, thank you.
