SIBB Summer Reception, Berlin’s Wannsee (2025)

On September 12, SIBB – Digital Association Berlin-Brandenburg – hosted its annual summer reception by the shores of Berlin’s Wannsee. Around 200 guests from the region’s digital economy gathered at the Berliner Sparkasse venue to enjoy late summer vibes, live jazz music, fine catering, and an evening full of exchange and inspiration.

At the heart of the discussions were topics shaping the future of the metropolitan region: data sovereignty, open standards, and the digital transformation of public administration. In addition, cross-cutting issues of global importance – such as cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, AI ethics, and GovTech innovation – sparked lively conversations, underlining how the Berlin-Brandenburg ecosystem connects to international debates. Entrepreneurs, startups, and representatives from politics and government explored how digital solutions can strengthen resilience and future-readiness. True to SIBB’s motto, the event demonstrated that “Connecting Digital Minds” is a lived reality.
