THE RAD°HUB.
Here you can find everything about the rad°hub, a dialogue platform from the BMW Group that brings together a wide variety of personalities from business, art, science, culture and many other fields. Following the motto “RE: Unite for tomorrow”, diverse, fruitful perspectives and connections are created.
DEDICATED TO THE FUTURE.
RE: UNITE FOR TOMORROW.
How can we collectively envision a responsible future?
THE CONCEPT.
The rad°hub inspires participants to shape a future of more human, more intelligent, more responsible action. The open and intensive exchange between experts from the different fields forms a key element and not only gives rise to new approaches and fruitful changes of perspective; it also ensures valuable collaborations in the future.
At each rad°hub, smaller workshop groups develop various scenarios for the future. The aim of these concentrated workshops is for people from different fields to work closely on devising the first few steps towards a responsible future together. By the end of the event, each workshop group has defined a joint future statement for 2050 and experienced new ways of thinking in the process.
THE COMMUNITY.
At the heart of the rad°hub is a diverse community with a wide variety of backgrounds. Participants are individually selected. They have influence and an open mind, advance progress, and work on an interdisciplinary basis to shape the future in a way that it remains liveable. The community also consists in part of BMW Group representatives from various areas of the company who are actively involved in driving the change.
By combining corporate, freelance, academic, entrepreneurial and various other perspectives in this way, the rad°hub aims to build a community of visionaries and rad°influencers to ensure an exchange that opens up new ways of thinking for all sides.
THE NAME.
So, why the name “rad°hub”? In German the word “Rad” means wheel – one of the greatest inventions in the history of humankind and a symbol of mobility and advancement into the future. In English “rad” means really exciting – and chimes with how we feel before every one of these events.
Inspired by this energy to create something new, participants come together, bringing with them their different mindsets and views. This results in in-depth discussions that lay the foundation for shared visions, plans of action and collaborations to benefit future generations.
The rad°hub, then, stands for what drives us – today and in the future.

HERE’S WHAT RAD°HUB PARTICIPANTS SAY.
The experience at the #radhub inspired me and filled me with a profound sense of responsibility. We all have a part to play in ensuring a sustainable and equitable world for future generations.

JOINT FUTURE STATEMENT – GROUP 01 BERLIN 2024.
"By 2050, human communities will be digitally empowered, embracing change and sustainability, with technology fostering connectivity as a human right. Trust and technology and the balanced co-existence of humans and innovation will characterize organized, regenerative micro-communities deeply connected to nature."
JOINT FUTURE STATEMENT – GROUP 02 BERLIN 2024.
"To survive in out fast changing environment we need new structures. Out answers to limited resources, mass migration and changing habitual space due to climate change are based on regenerative communities and regenerative economies built on the principles of circularity."
JOINT FUTURE STATEMENT – GROUP 03 BERLIN 2024.
"In 2050, Paris is formed in little Parises, which are self-organized communities that foster inclusivity, transparency and democratic decision-making. Through flexible ownership and rewards, members engage and contribute, exchanging time and skills for shares and tokens. A data dashboard guides community investment, based on the needs of the community, for example air and water quality improvements."
JOINT FUTURE STATEMENT – GROUP 04 BERLIN 2024.
"In 2050 bringing diverse people together has to be as easy and (as tasty) as ordering food online. In order to reach that goal we have to create spaces where everybody is and feels included. Hybrid with a simple touch of a button."
