For more than 25 years, Markus Beckedahl has been observing, analyzing, and explaining how the Internet and crucial digital technology developments shape our societies, cultural practices, and political decisions. In doing so, he has played a key role in shaping a new field of politics: digital and network policy.
As a prominent political journalist with an IT background, he provides critical, up-to-date assessments and foresight to the effects of digitization and challenges decision-makers at all levels face to create digital societies in a fairer, more sustainable and bolder way.
A pioneering blogger, Markus founded netzpolitik.org, one of the most influential public interest journalistic media sites in Germany, and has received numerous awards as editor-in-chief.
With re:publica, Markus co-founded an important event platform for digital society in Europe in 2007 and has been instrumental in shaping its program ever since.
Markus advised the Bonn Institute on the conception and organization of the b° future festival.
