As speakers and honorable guests Mittweida could welcome for example Dr. Mart Laanemäe, Ambassador of the Estonian Embassy in Germany. He held a welcome speech where he described how Estonia has set a new status quo for digitalized public services. During dinner another highlight speaker complimented Mittweida on their innovation spirit: Burkhard Balz, Board Member of the German Bundesbank. On the second day the organizers of the conference also welcomed Michael Kretschmer, the Prime Minister of Saxony to be part of the panel discussion “Key to Innovation” as well as a festive inauguration of an installation on the town square symbolizing the “innovation window region Mittweida”.
We have been actively taking part in #thehumanconference by moderating and participating in the panel “Humans Beings and Innovation” and by facilitating a workshop “System Change – Sustainability in the Age of Digitalisation”. We’ll sum up our two highlights as well as a workshop we attended – Mindfulness as a new skill in the digital age.
