On September 24, 2024, members of our IWES team had the privilege of attending an insightful Breakfast hosted and invited by the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK Berlin). The event presented Bettina Stark-Watzinger, the Federal Minister of Education and Research, and focused on critical discussions surrounding education policy, Germany’s innovative potential, and strategies to enhance the country’s global standing in the competition for talent and innovation.
The event provided a platform for policymakers, scientists, and innovators to exchange ideas on fostering stronger educational frameworks and boosting innovation in Germany. Our team engaged in meaningful dialogue on how education and research initiatives can support industries, including the environmental and water management sectors, in meeting future challenges.
At IWES, we are deeply committed to innovation and sustainability, and this event reinforced the importance of strong educational policies and research to drive progress. We look forward to applying these insights to our ongoing projects and partnerships, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of climate change adaptation and environmental solutions.
We extend our gratitude to IHK Berlin for organizing this inspiring event and look forward to further discussions on strengthening Germany’s innovative capacity in the global arena.
