Through keynote speeches, discussion panels, and best practice presentations, we will explore Cradle to Cradle from a variety of perspectives across various sectors and social areas, including public life, education, culture, and business.
Whether public life, education, culture or business: C2C concerns everyone, and this is reflected in the program. On stage, therefore, will be federal politicians as well as top managers, scientists and representatives of civil society organizations.
With the special track Mobility & Logistics, this year’s C2C Congress will provide answers to the question of how the sustainable mobility of people and goods must be designed – and what approaches are already available today. From battery recycling to circular public transport to the cradle car: there are many ideas; we take a closer look at them.
