The Berlin Summit 2025 – Winning back the future
„Die alte Welt liegt im Sterben, die neue kämpft darum, zum Leben zu erwachen: das ist die Zeit der Monster.“ Was der Philosoph Antonio Gramsci in den 1930er-Jahren für seine Zeit formulierte, trifft auf 2025 erneut zu. Nur, wie wird die neue Welt aussehen? Was folgt auf jene alte, die vom Glauben an freie Märkte und Globalisierung bestimmt war? Wie sieht eine Industriepolitik aus, vorausschaut, statt nur auf Krisen zu reagieren? Wie eine Klimapolitik, die Menschen mitzieht? Und wie eine besser gemanagte Globalisierung – ohne Zollkriege und Machtmissbrauch von Big-Tech? All das werden weltweit führende Experten und Expertinnen aufbauend auf der Berlin Declaration vom vergangenen Jahr beim zweiten Berlin Summit ausloten: Winning back the future. Am 11. und 12. Juni in kleineren Runden, für alle am 13. Juni. Im Landgut Stober am Rande Berlins.
