In each of these 8 future-critical categories, we award 5 Top Talents under 25!
Innovation
Without innovation there can be no progress and without progress our society will gradually regress. We face the challenge of creating sustainable innovation.
Social
Of great social relevance is not only innovation, but innovation that provides a sustainable and long-term improvement in global equal opportunities.
Entrepreneurship
Whether founder and entrepreneur or manager and managing director: leadership qualities and exceptional management talents are of great importance to keep complex systems together.
Society
The greatest breakthroughs in humanity were probably brought to us by research and science. People who, with urgency and energy, discover and explain new things that were previously unknown to us.
Management
Our society is constantly changing. People who hold our society together and create paths for sustainable ecosystems are therefore of particular importance to us.
Diversity
The world is growing ever closer together and it is no longer a challenge to cross several national borders within a few hours. This leads to cultural diversity and diversity that must be promoted and strengthened.
Digital
Digitalization is our everyday life, creates significant changes and opportunities in our lives that would not have been possible in any other way before.
Education
Education is the key to success and due to the rapid changes in our working and living environment, we will have to train more often and more intensively in the future. At the same time, there is still a huge gap in the education system that needs to be solved.
