As hostess Dr. Angela Frank welcomes the participants with the request to find new and motivating narratives and applications. Prof. Dr. Steffen P. Walz explains the context of the conference, e.g. which technologies known from games exist that could be useful for SDGs and where have playful approaches already contributed to more sustainability in the context of the 17 SDGs. Sven Schmidt talks about the future opportunities that arise from cross-innovation between creative professionals, start-ups, game developers*, universities and SMEs and why this collaboration is critical for achieving Agenda 2030. Prof. Sebastian Stamm points out that game designers are above all the system designers of tomorrow and will play a decisive role in shaping future motivating processes.
