This was the #DNP25:
The transformation congress of the year.
As the only platform of its kind, the DNP became once again a meeting place for everyone who not only demands sustainability, but also shapes it.
At #DNP25, leading thinkers from politics and science met with the most successful companies from the competitions. Representatives from the EU and the German Bundestag, the German federal government and ministries, the United Nations and the WTO were in attendance.
The line-up was complemented by leading figures from climate research, civil society and journalism – with special guest star designer Philippe Starck. What's more, 2025 saw more successful entrepreneurs than ever before taking to the DNP stage.
Award ceremonies became masterclasses – with strong hosts, clear insights and direct exchange. Transmissions and deep dives organised the central topics. A new networking event brought people together. The festive dinner celebrated the ‘best of the best’.
Those who spoke, moderated or provided impetus contributed in-depth knowledge and proven implementation successes – from all relevant sectors.
On the stages of #DNP25.
150 top speakers from business, politics, science, NGOs and the media.
New: MasterClass.
Less symbolism - more practice: The MasterClasses brought the award ceremony into the congress: Award-winning companies, industry experts and partners showed concretely how transformation succeeds - in intensive sessions, with experience knowledge and open dialog at eye level.
BigPicture.
The BigPicture format included both the opening and closing plenary sessions of our congress. Here, renowned experts shared their knowledge and expertise with each other and with the audience. A varied mix of keynotes, interviews and discussion panels provided in-depth insights into this year's key topics.
TransMission.
The TransMission formats were each dedicated to our transformation fields - climate, nature, resources, value chain and society. Various facets of the respective topic were highlighted in keynotes, discussion panels and interviews. Top-class moderation and media extras rounded off the format.
DeepDive.
In our DeepDive formats, the focus was always on one topic, which was discussed intensively by the panel participants. The panel participants contributed different perspectives and backgrounds and shared best practices, experiences, perspectives and innovative solutions.
This was the 17th German Sustainability Day.
Two days of concrete solutions, a clear stance and new alliances -
for all those who not only think about sustainability, but act.
On November 28 and 29, 2024, Düsseldorf became a meeting place for all those driving change. People from business, politics, science and civil society came together to share experiences, think ahead and discuss concrete steps towards the future. Included: the special events “Sustainable Finance” and “Sustainable Events”, at which the special prize was also awarded to Labor Tempelhof.
The new TransMission format focused on the question of how social change can succeed. The DeepDive focused on the AI revolution - and defined the mobility of tomorrow. One highlight was the award ceremony for the 50 solutions for a sustainable future as part of the DNP Products. The stage was set for people and companies whose ideas are already showing how change works.
