Formats

At the platform, we develop different formats and procedures for well thought out governance strategies in Germany, Europe and the world. In doing so, we are guided by the two central principles of good governance: Transparency and Participation. Our activities are based on the approach of bringing together stakeholders from politics and administration, business and organized civil society in different formats with the aim of developing creative solutions for urgent social challenges that are oriented toward the common good. to develop. To this end, we use both formats that have been tried and tested over many years and new pilot procedures in which we test innovative ideas.
