The podcast "Zukünfte2Go - Ein Blick ins Neues" (Futures2Go - A look at the new) is, as the name suggests, about the future. However, we deliberately speak of "futures", because one future is not a foregone conclusion. Rather, the aim is to work out drafts and ideas of alternative futures in a dialogue between society, science, business and politics, and to determine ways in which we can achieve a desirable future. It is therefore the concern of the podcast to advance this dialogue.
In our podcast, we want to engage in conversation with the people who are already shaping the future with their innovations today. The variety of innovations is almost limitless: For example, we talk to the founder of a foundation that has set itself the goal of putting the first German woman into space. Or we discuss the healthcare industry of the future and ask about the future plans of a medium-sized company whose board member also happens to maintain an art blog. All these people have one thing in common: they want to shape tomorrow with their work and make the world a little bit better!
We would like to recommend these exciting conversations to all people who enjoy thinking about our future - regardless of their profession, their private situation, their age or their background. Because the future concerns us all! We would therefore be delighted if you would tune in to our podcast and let the conversations inspire or even motivate you to actively help shape the future yourself. We are always grateful for comments, criticism or tips on interesting discussion partners for our podcast - and for all other requests. Please feel free to contact us!
