🌟 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬 🌟 I’m excited to share that I’ve co-founded Public Makers with Florian Stupp, a student initiative dedicated to fostering #innovation in the public sector. Our goal is to equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to become Public Entrepreneurs, driving the state and #administration into the 21st century. ⬆ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈’𝐦 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 In 2018, I left my full-time role as a QA Engineer to study Political Science and Technology, driven by a deep sense of idealism. I’ve since noticed that many students default to well-trodden career paths, often unaware of the unique opportunities within the #public #sector. Our society needs individuals who can bridge diverse fields - like IT and politics, as I have - or bring other interdisciplinary skills to public service. 💡 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Public Makers aims to inspire and empower students to innovate within the public sector. Through Summer and Winter Schools, as well as #Bootcamps or Workshops, we’ll provide practical knowledge and connect students with leaders who’ve successfully brought change to the public arena. ⬆ 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Many young people feel disconnected from politics and disillusioned with slow-moving public institutions. We believe in unlocking the vast potential of the public sector by showing that it offers meaningful careers with real impact. The state is not an abstract entity - it’s all of us. Our mission is to help students see the public sector as a viable and rewarding career path. 🔗 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 We’re supported by an outstanding Advisory Board, including Marlon Demandt, Elena Dreyer, Dominik Juling, and Johanna Kriegel, who are guiding our journey with invaluable insights. 🚀 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩 We’re also thrilled that our first Bootcamp, happening this October, will be presented by the TUM Think Tank. We are excited to soon offer all Technische Universität München students, across all disciplines, the opportunity to apply for our #Bootcamp this October. There will be an application process, and we look forward to selecting passionate participants from a diverse range of fields. I invite you to follow Public Makers on LinkedIn to stay updated on our initiatives and to not miss the announcement for our first Bootcamp in Landeshauptstadt München.

Embracing the Future: The Digital Evolution of Production Our visit to the Digital Factory Campus at #Mercedes-Benz #Berlin with #EMBA students from #ESMT underscored the pivotal shift toward digital, efficient, sustainable, and flexible production. Exploring the Campus provided profound insights into #transformation, #digitalization, and #electrification—the pillars shaping tomorrow's production landscape. One standout aspect is the #digitaltwin, utilized to replicate production processes and test new features and software updates prior to their implementation on real production lines. This integration of virtual methods with real-world validation significantly shortens development time and increases robustness. Furthermore, the #qualification of employees underscores the company’s dedication to staying ahead in this digital era. Specially tailored digital retraining programs are offered to production employees, ensuring individual support and defined target positions to thrive in the evolving digital landscape. This journey isn't just about embracing technology; it's about fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability.

Professor Young, who has always focused on the development of young leaders, also highlighted the importance of education. He believes education is not just about imparting knowledge but also about inspiring creativity and critical thinking: “Education should equip people with problem-solving skills, not just rote memorization, especially in Asia, where young students should be given more practical opportunities to grow through practice.” He pointed out that the current education system needs more interdisciplinary education to cultivate talents that meet future needs. He believes that future competition will not only be about professional knowledge but also about comprehensive qualities. He suggests that educational institutions should place more emphasis on interdisciplinary education to equip the new generation with a broader knowledge base and flexible thinking abilities: “The future society needs talents with cross-disciplinary abilities, as finding correlations across different fields can lead to innovative solutions.” read more: https://reurl.cc/OM9KdR Konrad Young National Applied Research Laboratories, NARLabs 台積電 英特爾公司 London Tech Week #SDGs #KonradYoung #NARLabs #TSMC #Intel #LondonTechWeek

Treating failures as the nutrients for growth will undoubtedly lead to better outcomes! Just like Taiwan's semiconductor capacity, every role within the industry chain and ecosystem has progressed step by step through countless failures and setbacks. Through continuous transformation and iteration, it has ultimately reached the point where it can orchestrate a global symphony today.
