This is our amazing speaker lineup:

Franziska Schmid & Julia Kleeberger, co-founders and CEO of mycelia.education and form21

Julia and Franzi are long-time co-founders and system shifters. After meeting at Volkswagen, they left the corporate world to build three social enterprises in education — from hands-on Makerspaces to system-level innovation. With 60 team members across their ventures, they explore how entrepreneurial thinking and bold experimentation can reshape learning and leadership for the future.

"Business and Education: The Unlikely Duo for Societal Change"
In this talk, Julia and Franzi explore how unlikely combinations drive their innovative approach to business within education. They demonstrate the synergy between startup agility and systemic innovation, highlighting the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset to achieve real, lasting change in education. By embracing their contrasting personalities, diving into holacracy while focusing on effectiveness, they show how blending these elements fosters transformative solutions that can reshape the educational landscape and society.

Dr. Sophie Chung, CEO and co-founder of Qunomedical

Sophie completed her medical studies at the University of Vienna in 2008. She gained first-hand experience as a doctor in Australia and later by working for an NGO in Cambodia. In 2015, she founded Qunomedical with the aim of revolutionizing healthcare through greater transparency.

The title of her talk will be announced soon.

Ieva Luskeviciute & Mihalina Georgievatalking, co-founders of thebeyond Berlin

Ieva and Misha are co-founders of BEYOND, a project redefining tennis to be more inclusive, fun, and accessible. They are passionate about creating spaces where everyone belongs on court. BEYOND’s work connects people through movement, with community always over competition.

Courts Without Borders: How BEYOND Connects People Through Movement & Community
How do you make tennis fun, edgy, and welcoming for everyone in a culture that fundamentally limits that? Ieva shares the story of BEYOND, a project breaking the stereotypes of a traditionally exclusive sport. From mobile tennis courts to partnerships with global brands, she’ll show how tennis can be a medium for connection, playfulness, and belonging.
