SWR1 Leute – How We Can Shape the Future!

f we want to shape the future, we must think of it in a positive way—focusing on possibilities rather than pessimistic probabilities. And suddenly, we realize that retail, craftsmanship, and a new ethical framework in our society are the #NextBigThing.

We realize that small and medium-sized cities and regions have enormous growth potential and that we can free ourselves from today’s industrial norms. Instead, we can redefine business and life models for a sustainable and forward-thinking future.

With digitalization, we gain countless new opportunities to shape our daily lives, society, and economy. In Europe, we are known not for developing meta-technologies like electricity or AI but, thanks to our diversity, for creating integrated applications that bring these innovations into everyday life. Germany and Europe are not lagging behind—we are simply positioned at a different point in the innovation cycle. The real challenge arises when we fail to recognize this and instead try to be “like others.”

That’s why we should embrace the possibilities of digitalization to shape our future positively. Beyond technology, we must also drive societal innovation and create a new role model for living in a collectively envisioned society.

As I said, this is only possible with positive scenarios—because that’s where the creativity lies for reshaping our entire society.

30 minutes of ideas for a future we can look forward to—in the video on this page, and even better, live in a keynote on-site! The future doesn’t just happen – we create it.

“I really enjoyed the event overall. The presentation by Mr. Thinius was particularly exciting and interesting.”

“The future thinks differently – awesome!”

“The talk about the future really resonated with me. The fact that it largely depends on how we actively shape it—and that people will once again be at the center—speaks to all of us.”

“I especially enjoyed Mr. Thinius’ part—it gave me new confidence that the industry will not disappear. His perspectives were also very interesting and personally made me reflect.”
