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.
