Economy & Politics

In a time of dynamic change and rapid technological progress, experienced speakers and keynote speakers from the fields of business and politics offer valuable insights into the key issues of our future. Whether addressing the new economic landscape of 2035, shifting power among global players, or the profound impact of digitalization on work environments and society, our speakers excel at making complex topics both accessible and inspiring.

Their focus includes themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, and the automation driven by intelligent algorithms, which are increasingly prevalent across various economic and industrial sectors. From self-driving cars to humanoid robots and social bots, these technologies have deep-reaching effects on our lives and the economy. Speakers from geopolitical and business fields bring valuable perspectives on how leaders around the world are shaping this transformation through new rules, partnerships, and effective change management.

Our speakers delve into the challenges brought about by technological and geo-political shifts—from the opportunities of digital transformation and globally interconnected markets to the social and environmental questions that arise along the way. We present influential experts like Christian Lindner, Wolfgang Ischinger, Christoph Heusgen, Sebastian Kurz, Bruno Le Maire, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, researchers, and consultants from both the digital and analog worlds, offering audiences essential insights for shaping the future.
