At re:publica 2023 from 5 to 7 June 2023 at Arena Berlin and Festsaal Kreuzberg, our former Fellow Sebastian Gießmann will be keynote speaker. The re:publica Berlin is a festival for the digital society.
How we exchange and pay in the future is highly political. That’s why we should talk about the digital transformation of money!
In advance, there is already an interview with Sebastian Gießmann on the topic of digital payment:
Let’s talk about #CASH. An interview with Sebastian Gießmann.
