as recording during on 22-26 February 2021 as part of Innov8rs Connect on Foresight, Ecosystem Engagement and Startup Collaboration.

Berlin-based publisher Axel Springer managed a very successful digital transformation through a very strategic ecosystem and investment strategy. Today, the company generates more than 87 percent of its EBITDA with pure-play digital business models from companies such as StepStone, Business Insider, idealo and others.
In his talk, Sebastian will present the key success factors of Axel Springer’s ecosystem strategy.
