Who is actually behind gannaca? Since our founding in 2002, we have successfully supported hundreds of projects in numerous sectors with companies of all sizes and have been able to win many new partners for our gannaca family. Each of them with a great passion for the development and transformation of business models with a strong focus on the latest technologies – always in line with the humanistic values we represent and the desire to go the extra mile. Together, we adapt – constantly. And remain true to our goals in the process, because the valuable lifetime of all involved is the measure of all things for us.

Future. School. Digital. Finals!

 

With a big smile we look back on an eventful week. We realize: slowly but surely the world is waking up again from the long lockdown hibernation. We now meet people every day who are excited about every possible interaction and can hardly wait to bring their new insights, their fresh motivation and their now self-evident (digitization 😉) skills into the world. First and foremost, the students who took part in this year’s Fischer Group Digitization Award despite ongoing high school graduation exams. While online execution was still a stopgap solution last year and presented everyone with a major challenge, this year, in the midst of online exams and Abitur examinations, it was as natural as the many impressive virtual background images and presentation designs created by the four participating schools from Baden-Württemberg. The first prize went to the Gymnasium from Freudenstadt, just ahead of the defending champion from Nagold. The winners for us, however, are above all the many female participants who dared to take part this year – this was not the case last year. We look forward to sharing insights into the presentations of the four schools here over the next four weeks. It pays to keep at it: Future. School. Digital.

Le Boudir X gannaca

 

Fashion & Technology in times of crisis? As we have seen, since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis: virtuality has flourished in fashion and luxury, fashion weeks platforms have become digitalized around the world, presentations have become digitalized, storytelling is immersive. This is far from a trivial observation. So, as Christopher Peterka observes, if “the appropriate use of technology in the fashion industry increases its importance as a voice, in our societal discussion about what we want as a future”, what does this voice tell us? In the “Le Boudoir Numérique X gannaca series” Episode 1, our CIO Christopher discusses this with Mila Chan and Chibi Mila, the virtual journalists of the Digital Boudoir. “Le Boudoir Numérique X gannaca” is a new series of interviews on the future of fashion tech in collaboration with our dear friend and advisory board member Ludmilla Intravia, journalist and editor-in-chief of Le Boudoir Numérique, a digital magazine deciphering the impact of technology, innovation and digital on fashion and beauty. Discover the video of the first episode here.

Fischer Highlights

 

Does today’s curriculum date back to the Stone Age? Are teachers mercilessly overworked? “Germany must not remain a country of emergency when it comes to education.” – The second episode of the new podcast series “fischer Highlights” is just one of the projects in which our CIO Christopher Peterka, together with the fischer group of companies, addresses the challenges facing the school system in dealing with digitalization. This also includes the digitalization prize launched by company owner Prof. Klaus Fischer, “Zukunft. School. Digital.”, which was held for the second time in 2021 and is entering the exciting online finals this week. The goal: To catch up as soon as possible with the nations that are role models in terms of advancing digitization: Israel, Uruguay and Finland. The educational activities of fischer in cooperation with gannaca are a big step in this direction and without question serve as a model for the whole of Germany. The podcast episode can be heard on the company’s website and in all audio platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Deezer, Amazon or Youtube as well as here.

RP Symposium 2021

 

Last week we told you about the production of the 2021 symposium “Highlights of modern medicine – live healthy – stay healthy” of the Forum Future Medicine. The goal of the event: current, medical knowledge explained in a way that everyone can understand. The media production, which was carried out at Rudas Studios Düsseldorf, is intended to help allay patients’ fears by providing them with better information about innovative treatment methods. Panel discussions were held on various aspects, such as immunotherapy in oncology or the use of artificial intelligence in cardiology, which were moderated by our CIO Christopher Peterka. As if the direct exchange with affected patients in times of the pandemic were not hurdle enough – the preparation and execution of such a production is an art in itself. All the more beautiful when the result (from June 11 on www.forum-zukunftsmedizin.de) is right and also gives us at gannaca the feeling for a small moment that we have arrived back in the pre/post C19 everyday life. We would like to thank the Rheinische Post and Pia Kemper for this.

Your Choice

 

Your free self-test is waiting: How ready are you for system change? Change is happening faster today than ever before. We’re in danger of being collectively suffocated by the overwhelming demands of new technologies and the excessive diversity of information – and with us, what we once called society. Those who are driving change have two things in mind: profit and power. They abuse us as click cattle and data suppliers, reducing us to an existence as human resources and consumers. In doing so, they are endangering our democracy, diversity and even humanity as such. It does not have to go on like this. Instead of focusing our efforts only on economic efficiency, we need to ask: Who do we want to be? How do we want to live together? What sense should our striving have? Take the exclusive self-test from the book “Your Choice” here.

The System Change Foundation

 

In April, we were delighted to welcome our long-time friend and partner Rudolf Hilti to Cologne, Germany, to jointly launch the partnership between gannaca and “The System Change Foundation”. The System Change Foundation is a non-profit platform for new imaginative thinking based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, which promotes sustainable development between environment, economy and society and sees itself as a value-based enabler to holistically rethink systems and global challenges. THE HUS.institute Est. is an integral part and owned by The System Change Foundation. Together we bring together opinion and decision makers and act as bridge builders for Technology, Policy and Mindset Change. With a strong, trusted network around the globe, we help people and institutions on their way to the necessary changes in perspective. Because: Systemic change begins with changed perspectives.

Forum Zukunftsmedizin

 

Symposium 2021

 

Current medical knowledge explained in a way that everyone can understand – that is the claim of the Rheinische Post Forum’s Future Medicine Forum, whose concept and creation we have been intensively involved in developing with gannaca since 2018. Supported by the major insurers DAK and HanseMerkur, the pharmaceutical company Roche and the private bank Donner&Reuschel, selected medical experts discuss current and future trends.
This was also the case recently at the Symposium 2021 “Highlights of modern medicine – live healthy – stay healthy”. The media production, which was carried out at the Rudas Studios in Düsseldorf, is intended to help allay patients’ fears by providing them with better information about innovative treatment methods. Panel discussions were held on various aspects, such as immunotherapy in oncology or the use of artificial intelligence in cardiology, which were moderated by our CIO Christopher Peterka. Christopher especially appreciated the support of the symposium by the Lord Mayor of Düsseldorf, Dr. Stephan Keller, as patron. Dr. Keller would like to further strengthen the healthcare location in the next five years and, for example, establish a healthcare campus.

Dr. Alexander Pagnia / PRO energy consult

 

“gannaca is about 10 years ahead of the energy industry. We benefit a lot from this in our cooperation.” – Profit? That sounds particularly bright in the ears of Germany’s entrepreneurs in Corona times. And indeed: energy generation, storage, distribution and management are a huge topic for every medium-sized company. Because in 2021, computing power will cost next to nothing, decentralized solutions will be more in demand than ever, and only with creativity and decisiveness can resilience be developed for the continuing pandemic. So: who wants again, who is not yet climate neutral, self-sufficient and smart in their energy regime?

The Conference, Malmö/Sweden

 

At gannaca, we have actively lived attending conferences around the planet for over 20 years. We are particularly enthusiastic about those that enable and drive meeting and collaborating with the brightest, most creative and open minds. Above all, we count “The Conference” among these. The Conference attracted international attention by becoming one of the most thought-provoking and best-designed conferences on digitalization, society and business in Europe. Over two days, 25 speakers and 1500 participants gather in Malmö, Sweden, to ground the complexity in the digital world through human behaviors, new technologies and opportunities. 2020 marked the 10th year anniversary of The Conference. “During ten years of exploring the world of digital we can conclude: Everything has changed. And suprisingly little. The next big things take time. URGENCY DOES NOT EQUAL SPEED.”
