Event Location
Steinbeis House Berlin, Rudower Ch. 28, 12489 Berlin
Adlershof Science City
We recognize that this part of Berlin is somewhat enigmatic—well-known, yet not often frequented by outsiders. However, accessing our facility is quite simple.
You can take the S-Bahn to S-Adlershof and walk to our building, or use a bus or tram for just a few stops. These lines operate frequently, making your journey more convenient than you might expect.
If you plan to arrive by car, please consider carpooling with a few interesting colleagues or friends to reduce your CO2 emissions. Ample parking is available around Steinbeis House.

What does Green & Digital mean?
The theme "Green & Digital" encompasses essential elements of green and digital transition, emphasizing the critical need to leverage technology in addressing our most urgent challenges.
We intend to hold gatherings around these topics 3 times per year, with the next events scheduled for February and June.
What is an
After-Work Mixer?
An after-work mixer is a casual get-together that happens after work, bringing professionals together in a laid-back environment. It’s a great chance to relax, chat, and network outside the usual office vibe.
As newcomers to Adlershof, we're truly impressed by the amazing people we see around us, but we've noticed there aren't many chances for meaningful connections. To change that, we’re focusing on a topic we've been engaged with for the last 15 years.
Where does mindfulness fit into the equation?
We cannot solve new problems with the mindsets that contributed to their creation. In alignment with our commitment to sustainable well-being as an essential aspect of green transition, and fostering trust through changing perspectives, the formal components of the event will commence and conclude with brief mindfulness exercises.
