Women for Technical Talks (W4TT) is a community-driven initiative that was created in Spain that empowers women and allies in technology to share knowledge, inspire innovation, and build confidence through public speaking and collaboration. Founded on the belief that diverse voices strengthen the tech ecosystem, W4TT creates inclusive spaces where participants can present ideas, lead discussions, and connect with mentors across fields like data, business intelligence and AI. Each event such as in June 2026’s Women for around the world gather to learn from each other via listening to other women delivering  Technical Talks . This year in USA we will meet virtually to celebrates learning, leadership, and the power of storytelling to transform careers and communities.

Klimakrise. Ressourcenknappheit. Gesellschaftlicher Wandel.

Wir stehen vor der Herausforderung, unser Leben, unsere Wirtschaft und unsere Städte nachhaltig zu transformieren. Willkommen bei SUSTAIN, dem 12MIN.ME-Eventformat, das Nachhaltigkeit nicht als Buzzword begreift – sondern als echten Gestaltungsauftrag für Gegenwart und Zukunft.

Unsere Mission: DON’T WASTE yOUR TIME – INVEST IN OUR FUTURE.

SUSTAIN bringt Menschen auf die Bühne, die mit neuen Ideen, radikalem Umdenken und wirkungsvollen Projekten zeigen: Nachhaltigkeit ist nicht nur möglich – sie ist ein Innovationsmotor.

Ob ökologische Transformation, soziale Gerechtigkeit, neue Materialien, CO₂-Reduktion, Impact Investing oder Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung – SUSTAIN gibt Impulse, macht Mut und zeigt neue Wege.

Der Abend enthält 3x:

• 12 Minuten Vortrag – präzise, pointiert, persönlich
• 12 Minuten Q&A – deine Chance, nachzufragen und tiefer einzusteigen
• 12 Minuten Networking – vernetze dich, tausch dich aus, bleib dran

Themen, die dich erwarten könnten:

• Kreislaufwirtschaft: Wie Produkte wieder Ressourcen werden
• Nachhaltige Transformation von Unternehmen und Startups
• Neue Materialien & Produktionsprozesse: Bio-based, zero-waste, langlebig
• GreenTech & ClimateTech – Technologien fürs Überleben
• Nachhaltiger Konsum: bewusst, lokal, transparent
• CO₂-Bilanzen, Klimaziele, Net Zero – und was wirklich wirkt
• Zukunft der Ernährung: von FoodTech bis regenerative Landwirtschaft
• Soziale Nachhaltigkeit: Teilhabe, Bildung, Gerechtigkeit
• Nachhaltigkeit in Städten: grün, resilient, integrativ
• Finanzierung der Zukunft: Impact Investing & ESG

Für wen ist SUSTAIN?

Für alle, die Nachhaltigkeit leben, lernen oder neu denken wollen. Egal ob du aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Design, Technik, Politik oder Zivilgesellschaft kommst – oder einfach aus persönlicher Überzeugung: Du bist willkommen.

Vorkenntnisse brauchst du nicht – nur Neugier und den Willen zum Wandel.

Warum teilnehmen?

Weil Nachhaltigkeit keine Option mehr ist, sondern Notwendigkeit. Und weil echte Veränderung bei dir beginnt – mit Wissen, Dialog und Austausch.

SUSTAIN gibt dir neue Perspektiven, konkrete Impulse und inspirierende Menschen an die Hand.

Tauche ein in eine Welt, in der es nicht um Verzicht geht – sondern um Zukunftsfähigkeit, Innovation und Miteinander.

Lerne Vordenker:innen, Macher:innen und Changemaker kennen. Stell deine Fragen. Mach den Unterschied.
