Meshcon + OpenTechSummit 2023

The joint Meshcon and OpenTechSummit event presents projects and ideas and shows how they change our world, inspire scientists, create new art forms and enable new businesses. Join us and check out https://meshcon.net!

The meshing of ideas, technologies and sectors gives rise to new projects, scientific findings, products and forms of expression in art. Combining and meshing creates opportunities and insights to solve the problems of our time described in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Let's mesh it up! Join us in-person in Berlin or online!

We start in the morning at 9 AM with breakfast snacks followed by presentations and lightning talks. After lunch we continue with presentations and a panel on the topic "Opportunities of open approaches and technology meshing for resilience and sustainability".

--

Durch das "Meshing" von Ideen, Technologien und Sektoren entstehen neue Produkte, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Ausdrucksformen in Design und Kunst. Dieses Vermaschen und Kombinieren ergibt Chancen und Erkenntnisse, um die Probleme unserer Zeit zu lösen wie in den Sustainable Development Goals der Vereinten Nationen beschrieben. Ziel der Fachtagung ist es konkrete Projekte vorzustellen, die Geschäftschancen ermöglichen, Wissenschaft beflügeln und neue Ausdrucksformen schaffen.

Die Meshcon richtet sich an Unternehmer, Startups, Wissenschaftler, Technologen/Entwickler und Designer. Teilnehmer aus der ganzen Welt werden zu der Veranstaltung erwartet. Let's mesh it up! Sei dabei persönlich vor Ort in Berlin oder online.

Wir starten morgens um 9 Uhr mit einem Frühstück gefolgt von Vorträgen und Lightning Talks. Nach dem Mittag essen geht es weiter mit Präsentationen und einem Panel zum Theman "Chancen von offenen Ansätzen und Technologie-Vermaschung für Resilienz und Nachhaltigkeit".
