She has spoken and moderated at Web Summit, CES, and SXSW, empowering leaders to understand emerging tech and communicate it with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

CEO of Kliemannsland & ODERSO
Fynn Kliemann is an entrepreneur, inventor, and hands-on maker with a strong focus on DIY culture, prototyping, and rapid execution. His work sits at the intersection of craftsmanship, technology, media, and entrepreneurship—always driven by the belief that you need to truly understand things yourself before scaling them.
He became known through his own build-and-explain formats, from which several startups, products, and business models emerged. Instead of following classic startup logic, Kliemann relies on “building through understanding”: ideas are broken down, simplified, and turned into working prototypes—often with minimal resources, small teams, and high speed. Whether physical products, media formats, or new ways of working, execution beats planning.
Through projects centered around workshops, production facilities, and innovation spaces, he has shown how curiosity can turn into functioning businesses. Responsibility, in his view, cannot be delegated—core processes must be understood in order to ensure quality, credibility, and continuous development.
Kliemann’s approach combines childlike curiosity with entrepreneurial commitment: trying things out, failing, rebuilding. Economic success is not an end in itself, but the result of enthusiasm, personal responsibility, and radical making.

Founder RECUP
Every revolution starts with a spark.
In Fabian Eckert’s case, overflowing garbage cans and towers of paper cups were the spark that ignited the idea for a deposit system for coffee cups and thus became the starting signal for RECUP’s packaging revolution.

With over eight years of experience in setting up and expanding the RECUP reusable system, now with over 20,000 catering partners and market entry in Austria, Fabian is Managing Director of the market-leading provider of reusable containers in the catering industry.
