Innovations now!

The world is developing rapidly. Just as one crisis is resolved here, a new challenge emerges there. The balance of power is shifting, uncertainties are everywhere. Standstill? Not a chance! Change, further development and rethinking are required in all areas. In short: innovation is needed.

THE EVENT SERIES "RANGA YOGESHWAR &..."

The event series "Ranga Yogeshwar & ..." deals with the rapid technological developments and their effects. It deals with new ethical issues and the confrontation with the culturally shaped understanding of the world. Whether it's automated driving, the risks and promises of big data, the challenges facing the cities of the future or opinion-forming on the internet - Ranga Yogeshwar discusses complex future topics with his guests in an interesting and vivid way.

But how innovative are we? China and Southeast Asia are emerging as the new world economic centers. It remains to be seen what role Germany and Europe will play in the world in the future when their influence threatens to wane. One thing is certain: in order to continue to play a leading role, a lot has to change. We need to find out what and how. And we have to ask ourselves whether we are innovative enough, willing to take risks and willing to change, or whether we are already too tired of the future. How do we look to the coming years - and do we trust our political and economic structures?

Ranga Yogeshwar talks to Rafael Laguna de la Vera, Director of the Federal Agency for Leap Innovations (SPRIND), about nothing less than the future viability of Germany and Europe.

Particularly exciting: How can a government agency like SPRIND get involved in the dynamic start-up scene?

Your opinion is also needed! Bring your ideas, questions and impulses - and let's talk about the future of innovation together!
