Prof. Dr. Christian Berg deals with the topics of sustainability, innovation and resilience. How can we ensure that as many people as possible can live well without jeopardizing the future? What role does the economy play in this? What can companies do to operate more sustainably? How can the political framework help to set the right incentives for sustainability, and what can each and every individual do?
Starting from the question of what holds the world together at its core, Christian Berg first studied physics and philosophy, and later theology. Through a dissertation on the relationship between theology and natural science, he arrived at the question of how we can deal responsibly with creation and use technology accordingly.

“Starting into a better future with perspective.”
Christian Berg: “Perspective comes from placing things in contexts. It is important to understand the contexts of today’s challenges in order to draw the right conclusions. And that always has to do with me – no matter where I am at the moment and what moves me. Because the future doesn’t just come to me – it’s up to me to shape it.”
Prof. Dr. Christian Berg is looking forward to being on your stage as a moderator or speaker.
