DLD – A Time to Make Trends
“Germany - Land of Ideas” Partners with the DLD (Digital, Life, Design) Conference
Berlin, Jan 22, 2007 – The “Germany - Land of Ideas” nation-branding initiative is one of the cooperation partners to the 3rd “Digital, Life, Design” (DLD) conference in Munich, which runs through Jan 23, 2007. As in previous years, the publisher Dr. Hubert Burda and high-tech investor Dr. Yossi Vardi are its patrons.
Berlin, Jan 22, 2007 – The “Germany - Land of Ideas” nation-branding initiative is one of the cooperation partners to the 3rd “Digital, Life, Design” (DLD) conference in Munich, which runs through Jan 23, 2007. As in previous years, the publisher Dr. Hubert Burda and high-tech investor Dr. Yossi Vardi are its patrons.
DLD is seen as Europe’s leading international conference on the opportunities opened up by worldwide digitisation. Two days before the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, 700 German and international experts come together to discuss the future markets, society, and lifestyles.
The “Germany - Land of Ideas” initiative will participate in the conference by sending some of the promising protagonists from its exhibition, “100 Minds of Tomorrow – The Future in the Land of Ideas.” These young creative minds are a perfect complement to DLD07’s thematic focus. They will be represented by Lars Hinrichs, founder of the successful Internet platform “Xing”, who will speak about “The Link Society”.
Dr. Marcel Reichart commented: “As the digital avant-garde from all over the world convenes in Germany, ‘Germany - Land of Ideas’ and DLD perpetuate the spirit of the 2006 World Cup fort and create a platform for networking and joint projects in emerging markets.” Reichart is Managing Director R&D, Marketing and Communications at Hubert Burda Media, a position he shares with Stephanie Czerny, who also co-hosts the DLD with him.
Mike de Vries, the initiative’s Managing Director, pointed to the special importance of building networks: “Hubert Burda Media pushed open the door to an Age of Digitization years ago by introducing the DLD innovation conference in Munich. The DLD has been part of Germany’s contemporary image ever since, and the ‘Germany - Land of Ideas’ nation-branding initiative seeks to convey this contemporary image in Germany and beyond.”
Another one of the “100 Minds of Tomorrow” will perform at the presentation of the “Aenne Burda Award for Creative Leadership”: the internationally renowned jazz trumpeter Till Brönner.

The initiative realises various core projects: the “365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas” event series, an international Media Service and the FanClub. In collaboration with the federal location marketing agency, the initiative also realises – with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology - the “Invest in Germany – Land of Ideas” campaign.
