Three top speakers | A world-class moderator | One evening full of interesting insights

On Wednesday July 3^rd 2019 at 6pm located at fancy Unicorn Event Space Berlin Wedding the Popup Agency will present the unique POPUP Meetup with its current challenge: “Copycat EU? How do we differentiate ourselves from Silicon Valley?!”. It will be the first Meetup of the new event series “Future of digital work”.

Expect three top speakers, a world-class moderator, an exciting socio- political topic, hundreds of new insights and an opportunity to meet experts from great digital industries.

The idea behind this event was born after a rough philosophical discussion – during a raining winter evening – between four founding members: Tina Banerjee (CEO & Co-Founder of Brainpath), Bernhard Hecker (CEO & Co-Founder of Value.Digital), Martin Wartig (CEO & Co-Founder of Value.Digital, Co-Founder ValueLogic) and Daniel Zehnpfennig (Business Development Manager at ValueLogic). We couldn’t answer this question:

Is our global competitiveness falling? Why is Silicon Valley and China ahead in technology and science? Are they really?

Let’s look at Germany. Germany has 11 of the 100 most valuable brands. In terms of Growing business and Economic strength, Germany is one of the leading economic powerhouses of the European Union.

But people are still asking: Why is disruptive innovation still being produced and developed mostly within the U.S. or China? Why does ‘Made in Germany’ include only few leading digital products and why is there no German website among the 100 most visited if we think of Google Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple?

Is our current situation really that bad?

Let’s find it out. Let’s hear leading experts to discuss where we are heading.

That’s why found three speakers from various digital branches in a chilling atmosphere to discuss and stimulate the different intercultural changes that shape the future of our digital work.

Let’s hear, how they want to shape the future.

We’re glad to welcome:

Matthias Laug, CTO & Co Founder of TIER Mobility, a worldwide acting startup that offers a completely new eco-friendly transportation opportunities with e-scooters in cities like Berlin, Paris and Dubai.

Eric Dolatre, Co-Founder of Germanys largest e-mail service GMX and CEO & Co-Founder of Brabbler AG, a Munich based IT startup focused on modern, high-secure communication solutions. Eric and his team developed “ginlo”, a secure and privacy protecting messenger for both private users and businesses. Erics vision is a digital world where privacy and confidentiality have become reality.

“We Are All Stakeholders of Our Global Future”
Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.

Germany is the third most competitive country in the world, as the World Economic Forum (WEF) in its Global Competitiveness Report 2018 showed.

Ressource:
The World Economic Forum – Global Competitiveness Report 2018

Based on ten different criteria, the country offers the best conditions for mastering innovative processes from idea to marketing. Only slightly worse cut in the point of the US and Switzerland.

The result contrasts with the criticism that is widespread in Germany that Germans are great inventors, but do not understand how to translate their ideas into successful products and companies. Also, the lack of venture capital and the slow expansion with fast data lines (5G) is often lamented.

The WEF changed its methodology in order to show which countries are best forearmed for the what they call the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

Many factors that are crucial in this new environment have in the past played no role in policy decisions, such as brainstorming, entrepreneurial culture, social openness and agility.

This leads to a bunch of questions that brought us – the Popup Team – together:

To what extent do these failed directives affect our present and future working and living environment?

How far can we overcome the challenges of slow policy decisions in the face of the increasing speed of developing markets and technologies?

Or are brainstorming techniques, entrepreneurial skills and agile companies the solution?

What can the german landscape learn from other countries? What can Europe learn?

Is the U.S. American way one to adapt?

What goals should we set ourselves within a new era of self-employed, co-working and international teams to be reached for a better work life future?

In our Popup Meetup on July 3rd 2019 (6pm) we have invited innovative speakers to present their current challenged and ideas to shape the future.

Your are invited to discuss your own experiences, challenges, ideas!

Feel free to come, debate, network and enjoy this beautiful summer evening at the lovely Unicorn.Workspaces Berlin Brunnenviertel located at Brunnenstr. 64 in Berlin Wedding.

See you there!

Through our many years of experience in the digital industry, we have learned typical pitfalls and challenges which normally occur by the optimization of businesses to become more and more digital players.

We have often noticed how companies arranged traditional agencies, which caused high expenses and overhead during projects whereby they wasted time or money unnecessarily.

That`s how the initial idea came about to establish the Popup Agency. We want to enable you to grow your business and we believe that new types of digital businesses require new ways of collaboration. Instead of agency overhead and multiple long meetings, we provide you with access to Know-how within a team of entrepreneurs, hands on pioneers and professional experts. Think about a “Accelerating Pop Up Agency” and you get the idea.

It`s important for us to communicate a clear and easy understanding philosophy of what we do. All our members work independently, but still together as a Popup Team to gain highest value for your business. Therefore, we use our long-year expertise to offer you every know-how and resources, depending on the request and your personal objectives, we are able to define the perfect team set up and provide you the best individually service environment. We avoid typical agency overhead as we pop up spontaneously, anytime and anywhere we are needed, act as a helping hand, fill up an empty gap of knowledge and finish as soon as we have solved your targets sustainably – fair, fast and flexible, just typical like a Popup Agency. We love to see things grow and digital products being built.
