Whats special about our MercatorGlobe community? And why is collaboration so important in today’s world?

Our latest film from the MercatorGlobe Forum 2025 highlights the unique spirit of our community. Find out what drives our members to engage, collaborate, and tackle society’s biggest challenges together. 

This year’s forum was a center of exchange and dialogue over three dynamic days in Essen: Our MercatorGlobe community gathered – from thought leaders and innovators to dedicated changemakers – united by a shared mission: tackling global challenges through collaboration. Under the theme "Navigating VUCA," we explored how networks and trust can anchor us in volatile times.

From inspiring keynotes and high-level panels to hands-on workshops and games, the forum sparked real conversations and meaningful encounters. Whether debating democratic alliances or diving into climate action and digital transformation, the energy was contagious. Here you can learn more about the Mercator Globe Forum.
