“Matthias Spott and I are in talks with biotechnologists in Mexico to create a new type of material – and once we have the prototype we will connect with textile technology companies in Austria to find synergies.”

“Our discussion started with bats in Papua New Guinea, covered an introduction to sustainable vanilla farming, and ended with closing nutrient cycles through safely managed sanitation that evening. A couple days later we ended up with a proposal to improve basic sanitation for remote farmers, contributing to a higher output of crops.”

"New technologies are powerful, and when used to uplift those who grow our food and care for the planet, they can create new markets, democratize value creation, and ensure fair value redistribution. At the consumer end, they provide transparency and confidence in product quality. This is the intersection where we focus our efforts, as it represents the most sustainable path forward—economically, environmentally, and socially."

Where Curated Experiences Meet Unscripted Connections
Every BOLD Event is meticulously curated—from the guest list to the immersive program. Yet, we always leave room for participant-driven moments and purposeful networking, creating a truly unique experience we call 'manufactured serendipity'—our signature approach.
Event Formats
Our regular events provide a platform for networking, sharing knowledge, and collaborating.

From a Winemaking Workshop and Art Gallery Walk in Paris to a Space Poetry Workshop in New York or a dinner on a boat in Tokyo – these events connect and inspire with immersive experiences and brilliant participants.
Online and Hybrid Events
We regularly host online and hybrid events on BOLD Digital, our virtual community platform. They are an opportunity to connect our BOLD Minds from opposite sides of the globe and inspire them with talks, input and debates.
