Christopher kicked off the afternoon, obviously moved. “Almost to the day one year ago, Rudi and I founded THE HUS.institute and had a gathering in this very room. Back then, it was just a ruin”. Now standing in the freshly renovated first floor of this old building and seeing all the faces of inspiring, like-minded people, he needed a minute to get his feelings straight. “It means a lot to Rudi and me and hopefully to all of you as well that we’re all here right now. It’s our mandate, before machines might take over some day soon, to take care of our world so it becomes a healthy and sustainably prosperous place again. Let’s continue this mission together, growing ever stronger with each day.”
