ReFi Summit
Over 200 Visitors at „Digitizing for a sustainable future“ in Munich, Germany. 🎯 Our goal was to bring together pioneers working with frontier technologies to support the transition towards a regenerative economy, e.g. by digitizing the still low tech and inefficient voluntary carbon market and helping establish transparency and trust, and motivate anyone interested in the field to get involved. We were blown away by the positive response we received.
Tickets sold out weeks before and the event was a blast: lots of inspiring conversations as well as speeches by BitKom, Senken, Callirius and many more & and positive energy until the end. A big thank you to everyone making this event special!
