At the German Datacenter Conference I had the honor of giving a #keynote that is very close to my heart: “From power plant to digital park” How can what was once the #largest coal-fired power plant in the world, today under monument protection, be transformed into a digital park that sustainably creates new jobs? #Frimmersdorf is an example of how we can shape change together and create a new identity – with courage and a long-term perspective. ❤️ But what I am most proud of is not being on stage – it’s my collegues at Drees & Sommer. Without the expertise, dedication and passion it would not have been possible: Markus Bach, Marcus Bärenfänger, Oliver Bohr, Lena Diederich, Lothar Diederich, Arne Fechner, Nina Fetter, Lisa Goldschmidt, Holger Henning, Dirk Heuzeroth, Julian Hillemann, Peter Junker, Marc Karcher, Snjezana Katusic, Christian Langel, Daniel Plath, Marina Roggemann, Johannes Schartel, Stefan Strigl, Marcelo Teixeira Domingues, Kimi Tillmann, Benedikt Thorwarth, Niklas Vernaleone, Nils Wetzel, Lena Wittneben and many, many more. Thank you – this success belongs to all of us. 🌍💡
