Berlin stands for freedom, courage and tolerance. We believe our dynamic city should act as a strong voice in tackling the most pressing issues of our time – revitalising our social values, and welcoming people from far and wide. Q BERLIN provides a space to share these global perspectives, disrupt, inspire, and tear down walls to shape the future we want to live in.
On 7 November, experts and unconventional minds from the fields of business, science, politics, culture and technology will discuss the key issues surrounding the topics of Civil Responsibility, New Work, Urban Life and Human Technologies.
On 8 November, our partners showcase the diversity and discourse of Berlin. Select spaces, institutions, and businesses open their doors to invite our participants to a wide range of events and experiences where the fundamental questions of today will be discussed.
