DLD Munich 2025

January 16-18, 2025

Celebrating 20 years of shaping the future!

DLD began in 2005 with the mission to explore how the Internet would change our world. Today, a new set of technologies is shaping how we work and live – from AI, robotics and biotechnology to self-driving cars, nano satellites, quantum computers and many more.

DLD25 brought together a diverse group of business leaders, world-class scientists, artists and designers, startup founders and investors – people who not only imagine a better future but are actively creating it. Over the course of three days, top experts shared insights under this year’s motto Future Positive.
