CODE_n new.New Festival 2016

The world is becoming evermore digital and businesses are starting to feel the far-reaching effects of this transition. Companies are now tasked with continually re-evaluating and developing their business models, and we believe that this is only truly possible if they open themselves to new ideas from outside, making room for innovation.

We are convinced that new ideas result from bringing people together – people who are willing to think outside established boxes and take action accordingly. This includes young, ambitious innovators as well as successful, experienced entrepreneurs. We find these people, bring them together and guide them into the digital future.
