Henkel on LinkedIn

rowth rarely happens alone. ✨ That’s why, at this year’s #AdaLovelaceFestival, our Henkel ada fellows dared to go “beyond the visible” together. At the festival, they discussed the impact of #technology and reimagined the skillset needed to shape and lead our future – in which technology and humanity go hand in hand. 🤝 In our new reel, you can see how our fellows experience the diverse line-up of expert keynotes, panel discussions, interactive co-working sessions and networking formats about hot topics like #AI, the future of work, and climate change. 🌎 We’re so excited about the new impulses, ideas, and inspiration that our Henkel ada fellows bring into our organization to make Henkel even more future-ready! 🚀🙌 #AdaFellowship #WeAreHenkel
