Tuttlingen – The “talks about the future” are entering the next round. On December 9th, the successful event format will take place in the Rottweil power plant. This time it's about visions that will occupy the medical technology industry, but also everyone personally, in the next 10 to 15 years. The keynote speaker of the evening is futurologist Dr. Jörg Wallner from the think tank “2b AHEAD ThinkTank”.
After last year's discussions of the future could only take place online due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic, they will again take place as a face-to-face event this year: On December 9, 2021 from 5:00 p.m. in the Rottweiler power plant, the topic of visions will be discussed. In an interview, MedicalMountain's Managing Director Yvonne Glienke takes a look at the evening and this year's plans.
How can one imagine the talks about the future?
Yvonne Glienke: Talks about the future is an event format of TechnologyMountains e. V. and MedicalMountains GmbH. This format is always about future topics in order to broaden the perspective through new input and to create space for new ideas. The talks about the future are usually designed as a major event in order to naturally also focus on networking.
What added value do the discussions of the future offer guests?
Yvonne Glienke: The guests get inspiration for their own work and for their own company. For entrepreneurs in particular, it is important to think outside the box to see where things are headed in the next few years, what is important and what will then be relevant. With the talks on the future, we offer the ideal platform to be inspired by the keynote speakers, the panel discussion and the mutual exchange.
What can guests expect at this year's talks on the future?
Yvonne Glienke: This year it will be about visions. A vision is directed towards the future - we are talking about the next 10 to 15 years, that is, relatively far away. Visions therefore fit perfectly with our event format Talks about the future. We bring light into the dark when it comes to the power of a vision, what conclusions can be drawn from it and what strategy and objectives can be developed from it for the company.
Our keynote speaker this year is futurologist Dr. Jörg Wallner from 2b AHEAD ThinkTank. He deals with megatrends and future topics, as well as with vision processes and can give us good tips on how we can all go successfully into the future with a common vision. Here we expect strong impetus from Jörg Wallner.
In line with the topic of the evening, we would then also like to present the results of our vision process for the medical technology industry. In five workshops and events spread over the year, the participants from the medical technology industry have or will deal with the megatrends of the future and work out visionary elements. We show the guests what we have done so far, where we are now and what advantages companies can draw from it.
Why should you definitely take part in the talks on the future on December 9, 2021 at the Rottweil power plant?
Yvonne Glienke: First of all, we are very pleased that we can again plan the discussions on the future as a face-to-face event this year - after we had to switch to an online format last year. Such a networking event as the discussions on the future works best in presence: you finally meet again and spend a nice evening together in a great atmosphere. In addition, you take away very good impulses for yourself and the company for the future. And we are also looking forward to meeting everyone together again on one platform.
