12MIN.ME | SUSTAIN🌱 Shaping the future: From circular economy to climate innovation to social sustainability

Climate crisis. Scarcity of resources. Social change. We face the challenge of transforming our lives, our economy and our cities sustainably.

Welcome to SUSTAIN🌱, the 12MIN.ME event format that sees sustainability not as a buzzword - but as a real mandate to shape the present and the future.

SUSTAIN brings people to the stage who demonstrate new ideas, radical rethinking and effective projects: Sustainability is not only possible - it is a driver of innovation.

Whether ecological transformation, social justice, new materials, CO₂ reduction, impact investing or education for sustainable development - SUSTAIN provides impetus, encourages and shows new paths.

Our mission: DON'T WASTE yOUR TIME - INVEST IN OUR FUTURE.

Time is our most valuable asset - don't waste it! "Don't waste your time!" - is our motto and we live it. We bring education, innovation and inspiring topics into a relaxed after-work format where all topics from AI to zero waste come together in the context of sustainability.

The evening includes three times:

• 12 minute talk - concise, to the point, personal
• 12 minutes Q&A - your chance to ask questions and delve deeper
• 12 minutes of networking - network, exchange ideas, stay tuned

Topics that could await you:

• Circular economy: How products become resources again
• Sustainable transformation of companies and start-ups
• New materials & production processes: Bio-based, zero-waste, durable
• GreenTech & ClimateTech - technologies for survival
• Sustainable consumption: conscious, local, transparent
• CO₂ balances, climate targets, net zero - and what really works
• The future of food: from FoodTech to regenerative agriculture
• Social sustainability: participation, education, justice
• Sustainability in cities: green, resilient, inclusive
• Financing the future: impact investing & ESG

Who is SUSTAIN for?

For anyone who wants to live, learn or rethink sustainability. Whether you come from business, science, design, technology, politics or civil society - or simply out of personal conviction: You are welcome.

You don't need any prior knowledge - just curiosity and the will to change.

Why take part?

Because sustainability is no longer an option, but a necessity. And because real change starts with you - with knowledge, dialog and exchange.

SUSTAIN gives you new perspectives, concrete impulses and inspiring people.

Immerse yourself in a world that is not about doing without - but about sustainability, innovation and togetherness.

Get to know thought leaders, doers and changemakers. Ask your questions. Make the difference. As a networking platform, we support the exchange of ideas and the opportunity to expand your contacts and - most importantly - share the love.
