Berlin is a city bristling with creative energy and rapidly gaining a reputation as a competitor to established innovation centres like London’s Soho.

The 2020Plus Civic and Business Leaders Event, hosted by Future Minded Group of Berlin, brought together influential leaders from the worlds of business (including entrepreneurs), education, civics and the third sector.

The event featured important cross-sector networking opportunities for leaders as well as two highly impacting lecture presentations from social futurist Mal Fletcher, Chairman of the 2020Plus Think Tank in London (and director of Next Wave International).

Mal addressed the invited leaders on Winning the Innovation Race, focusing on the impact on Berlin’s future of such things as rapid urbanisation, robotisation and a new style of leadership under the Millennial generation.

The feedback for the event was overwhelmingly positive and this was very encouraging for Future-Minded Group who, a social enterprise venture, are new on the scene in Berlin.
