08.04. Wednesday // We vs. Virus – Germany’s Collective HACK Against Covid-19 // 16:30 – 17:30
Guest: Anna Hupperth from Work4Germany & Tech4Germany
As the Covid-19 virus began taking a grip on Europe, Germany’s federal government decided to enact a hackathon that would define oncoming challenges, enable a platform for bright minds to come together and create a collective bottom-up approach in fighting the virus before it could take anchor.
This came together in the form of the We vs. Virus Hackathon. One weekend that broke the world record in digital hackathons: bringing together 42968 participants, 1924 Innovators, and 2922 mentors. We get to speak to one of the organizers from this marvelous initiative, Anna Hupperth from Tech4Germany. She will tell us how they managed to successfully build and set up the hack, what happened after and which initiatives are making real-life impact and waves in the fight against Covid-19.
Be part of this inspiring talk on how one nation and its collaborators discovered digital opportunities to win against the virus. Sign up on eventbrite!
08.04. Wednesday // Members Breakfast Remote Edition // 10:00 – 11:00
Our bi-weekly Members Breakfast goes digital! Coworking means community and we are finding new ways to make that happen. Please join us for the very first edition on Wednesday, April 8 at 10:00 am via Zoom.
We will publish the invitation link in our members‘ workspace on slack 15 min before the breakfast starts. Not part of it yet? Then it is high time to join – please contact us in case you missed the invitation to our slack workspace.
Unfortunately, we can’t provide you with our nicely brewed coffee remotely but to make up for that we invited our Coffee Manager Olli to answer all your questions about how to prepare a decent coffee at home.
How to prepare

- Get your coffee ready (Hang in there a little longer: Very soon we will start to sell our special St. Oberholz Coffee Blend roasted by Bonanza to all coffee lovers who miss it as much as we do!)
- Get excited to meet the community!
09.04. Thursday // Members Check-out Drinks // 18:00 – 19:00
In german we don’t need an explanation, we just have the word „Feierabendbierchen“ for that. The concept is even simpler than the rather long word: Grab yourself a drink, call it a day and hang out with the community for a chat.
14.04. Tuesday // Corona: New Work Life Week #4 // 15:30
In times of COVID-19 we’re being tested on how digital/modern/agile/ & fast we really can be. GERMANTECH’s own Managing Director Maria and Anna, Mom & Event & Program Manager, converse about the drastic measures and advantages they’ve encountered in the last week.
Plus, how GERMANTECH is moving forward positively by its own principles of: Inspire, Build and Grow to facilitate and support new working/life situations in these times of corona. We will address what we’ve learned in the last week and how we are moving forward one day at a time.

15.04. Thursday // PR DO’S AND DON’TS – PR can define your finest hour// 15:30 – 16:30
Most people will tell you that communication is the key to success in any relationship and in fact, that’s not far from the truth if not the truth, for businesses also. Public relations and outward communication is key in acquiring customers and prospects, sustains your stakeholders with up-to-date news and can let your inner story shine. So we wonder, what can WORLDCHANGERS IN TECH DO and NOT DO in their PR strategies and, particularly, how should you behave during an unprecedented global crisis?
We welcome one of GERMANTECH’s great mentors Tilo Bonow to take the stage and guide us through why PR is Queen, especially in tech companies and times when it’s most needed.
Tilo leads one of Berlin’s finest PR agencies, PIABO, and since 2009, the agency has been committed to companies that have a positive societal impact through new technologies and business models. PIABO has recently also launched a focused portfolio – its Greentech & Sustainability Practice.

22.04. Wednesday // The Future of MADE IN GERMANY – Calling Engineers to the Frontlines // 17:00 – 18:00
Where does the “MADE IN GERMANY” brand stand now and where can it and should it go in the future? What about in times of a crisis?
In this live episode we talk to Prof. Dr. Achim Kempker, Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) at RWTH Aachen Uni, about the importance of engineering in today’s world and how “Engineers Saving the World / Ingenieure Retten die Welt” is on a mission to revive makers for a better world.
Historically MADE IN GERMANY was first introduced as a label of origin & warning, which, opposed to its purpose, quickly turned into the best-known trademark for quality, precision and specialization. Germany quickly became known for its prime engineering and having created the highest density of global market leaders. However, keeping and upholding a known tradition has created barriers, such as a slow speed of digital adoption and keeping up with foreign competitors that are embracing modern and agile methods.
We look forward to talking to Achim to better understand where MADE IN GERMANY is, where it can go and how his network “Engineers Saving the World / Ingenieure Retten die Welt” can revamp the engineering industry.
