The Future Congress on the State & Administration is the leading political and strategic forum for the modernisation of the state. Under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and State Modernisation, it brings together those who set the direction, make decisions and bear responsibility for implementation.

For more than a decade, the Future Congress has been connecting the leadership levels of the federal, state and local governments with academia, business and society. Here, the key issues facing an efficient and effective state in an increasingly digital economy and society are discussed – with political relevance, expert insight and a clear focus on implementation.

The annual Future Congress serves as the joint highlight. Its think tanks, expert dialogues, digital formats and other satellite events continue the work throughout the year. They address key reform issues, explore them in depth within curated groups, and combine strategic direction with practical experience and concrete solutions.

The Future Congress sets standards through the relevance of its topics, the calibre of the participants and the combination of political leadership, administrative practice and technological expertise. It creates the framework within which positions are refined, priorities set and viable paths to implementation developed.

On this page, you will find an overview of the Future Congress and its satellite events.

Welcome to the Future Congress community – home to the people driving forward the modernisation of the state.
