Workshop Topics

Last year our six teams found impressive and innovative ideas and solutions for challenging and real case studies from the Bertelsmann world. The team tackling the workshop topic “Fintech” created an IT solution that enabled companies to record the CO2 emissions generated by their employees’ commutes. Congrats to our winners, by the way!

The team working on the “Advertising” case study found new approaches to measuring, using and monetizing online interactions in the “cookie-free” era that begins next year. The group that worked on new solutions for the “Learning” case developed a plan for integrating an online community into the nurse.com online platform.

Another workshop topic circled around “Global IP” and the question of how content can reach new audiences to accelerate growth. Team “Metaverse” took iconic music catalogs to the metaverse whilst the group that worked on the “Journalism” case study built hyper-personal content experiences with the help of AI.
