Tech Open Air 2018 – TOA18 @ Funkhaus, Berlin

Last week the 7th edition of Tech Open Air took place in Berlin. TOA is an interdisciplinary festival with over 20.000 attendees, 200+ satellite events, 200+ speakers and more than 1.200 Founders/CEOs making it Europe’s most noteworthy technology festival.

This year definitely lived up to the hype of the previous years, and we can’t wait to share our highlights from the event as well as interviews with some of the biggest game changers in the Tech industry including CEO’s and Founders of some of the most influential companies and successful startups in the industry!

TOA took place from 19-22 June and each day was filled with exciting content from inspiring speakers and innovative creators! In addition to this, we also made our mark at the tech-fuelled event as GLOBALS was honoured to be selected as a TOA community partner again this year.

AiRelo – Smart City Registration also made its debut at TOA this year in the StartUp Alley, in order to not only introduce the technology to tech enthusiasts but also to connect with potential partners and investors. It’s safe to say that the event was a success for AiRelo and we can’t wait to see what the near future has in store for the savvy chatbot!

Last but not least, is GLOBALS TV. If you attended TOA this year then you can’t have missed us! The GLOBALS TV team was busy running around Funkhaus interviewing the most exciting thought leaders from the worlds of art, tech and science. It was fascinating hearing about their newest ventures as well as their take on the future of technology and its impact on business and life.

Last year happened also an important national event very related to this year. The difference is that in 2014 was celebrated the Fall of the Berlin Wall (09.11.1989). One year after is when the re-unification was actually materialised (03.10.1990).

Last year was a very emotional and beautiful event, tomorrow is very also very promising. Don’t miss your chance to take part of this emblematic event by assisting and experiencing in first hand Germany’s history. This kind of moments are great opportunities for expats to get to know a culture better, so we hope to see you there.
