25 Pieces of Art & Sustainability
Thanks to a bit of color there, a new claim here and our new website, we no longer look like 25, but much younger and fresher. At least that’s what our customers tell us and what we think. But that’s not enough for us – we want more. We want to make MORE from the subject of “25 years of denkstatt”. That’s why we´r not only planning to host a party and that’s it. No, we’re working on an entire event series just for you. At „25 Pieces of Art & Sustainability“, everything revolves around uniting art and culture with sustainability or letting sustainability issues shine in a new light and context. Our events are aimed at our partners and customers, as well as those who are interested. They take place in 5 countries and cover 25 different topics. Each event creates a kind of piece that we either design together with you or accompanied by an artist. How and what exactly happens there and how these art pieces will look like, we do not know yet. But we are sure that we will not run out of ideas and surprises. Kick-off event of “25 Pieces of Art & Sustainability” was our summer party in 2018 and it will end with our summer party in 2019 and an exhibition of all 25 pieces. Enclosed you will find the latest information and announcements about the upcoming events. And in case you like something or you find it exciting, go for it and contact us. Seats are limited.

Water supply and industries in Austria:
Drought or floodings – water is affecting society and industries not only in developing countries but also in Austria and CEE countries. On february 13th denkstatt hosted a round table discussion dealing with the topic „the value of water“ in Viennas „Motto am Fluss“. Our experts met representatives from retail and public services and discussed scientific papers as well as common business issues concerning water supply and scarcity. Our guests were happy to have room to share their experience as well as receive inputs from denkstatt on how to deal with this environmental topic. 
Are we chained to our office chairs?
denkstatt Bulgaria hosted an event for clients and partners dedicated to the beauty of natural human movement. The human body is one of the greatest pieces of art created by nature, but daily life leads to stiffness of the body, even pain, and difficulties in mobility. We often become “hostages” of our bodies due to prolonged sitting in office chairs and less opportunities for physical activities during the day. During our event, we showed our guests different ways of controlling their body, as well as demonstrated the feeling of freedom in motion and explained ways in which they can maintain a strong presence of energy in their everyday lives. This training in mobility was complimentary to our partners, aimed at providing knowledge & practices for purposeful movement that facilitate improvement of each persons’ physical well-being. 
Business talks about: Circular Economy
denkstatt Bulgaria recently organized a discussion on the topic “Business talks about … the Circular Economy. This important and hot topic attracted more than 40 business and media representatives. Industry organizations, branch associations, and companies discussed the expectations, challenges and opportunities facing businesses stemming from the circular economy agenda.
One of the main topics discussed was related to bridging the skills gap when it comes to circular economy implementation. Experts from denkstatt’s team presented the EU Circular Economy package and related requirements, as well as the latest news from Brussels to do with packaging and plastics. Another focus of the event was the concept of industrial symbiosis and opportunities for implementation in Bulgaria.
The event took place in the inspiring atmosphere of an interesting place – a specially created cozy hall for business events decorated with paintings of famous Bulgarian artists. The artworks on display in the collection have been purchased over the years from auctions supporting charity causes.
denkstatt organized this event in partnership with the Bulgarian Industrial Association – the biggest business organisation in the country.
Business Breakfast in Bratislava
On April 25th 2019 denkstatt Slovakia organized a Business breakfast on Sustainability in Food and Beverage industry. Representatives of production companies, retail and trade promoting organization gained overview on current global trends and challenges for the sector and joined an enthusiastic discussion with the denkstatt team. Topics such as adaptation strategies to climate change, shifts in consumer behaviour, packaging and food waste were discussed in detail for the Slovak market.
Breakfast with Prof. Dr. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker
Vienna hosted the pioneer of sustainable business actions, biologist, author and Club of Rome member Prof. Dr. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker and we had breakfast with him. Topics like climate change, world industries, politics and capitalism were discussed in an exklusive round table. Participants wer able to lay down their challenges and got great feedback from an intellectual giant like Weizsäcker.
We need unconventional decisions to solve todays problem, that is why we chose a rather unconventional location for our event.
denkstatt recommends having breakfast at „phil“ in Vienna.
