Olaf Scholz and Dr. Manja Schüle at HPI

Intro

We had the honor of welcoming Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Brandenburg's Minister of Education and Science, Dr. Manja Schüle, to the Hasso Plattner Institute!

During this inspiring visit, our Head of HPI d-school, Prof. Dr. Falk Uebernickel, had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with the Chancellor about the future of DesignThinking and interdisciplinary education. It is an important conversation as we continue to shape the educational experiences of our students and prepare them to be leaders in a rapidly evolving world.

Falk also had the pleasure of introducing our newest executive leadership programs focused on AI and Tech Leadership. These programs are designed to equip leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate the complex technological landscape of tomorrow.

We were particularly excited by Chancellor Scholz's keen interest and insightful questions about the future of education and AI. His engagement underscored the importance of our mission at HPI d-school to educate innovative minds ready to tackle the challenges of the future.

A big thank you to Chancellor Scholz and Minister Schüle for their visit and their commitment to advancing education in Germany!
