Be our sponsor
The b° future festival is a globally unique combination of a professional conference and a public event. It brings together innovative media professionals from around the world and an engaged local audience. Set in the historic heart of Bonn, it addresses questions that are fundamental to our shared future:
How can journalism, in times of war and climate crisis, connect with people in a way that makes them feel seen and well-informed, while reducing the space for hate, misinformation and polarization?
What funding options exist so that journalism serves the public good while providing journalists with fair and sustainable working conditions?
How can new technologies be used in journalism to create added value for audiences?
What role can journalism play in fostering public dialogue, and how can it become as diverse and multi-perspective as our societies already are?
Become a sponsor of the b° future festival 2025
We are a journalism festival with a purpose: putting people at the center of everything we do. That’s why our festival is a unique blend of a public event and a professional conference. High-profile guests from around the world gather at Europe’s festival for journalism and constructive dialogue in the heart of Bonn to explore ways to foster more constructive, conversation-driven and solutions-oriented reporting. At the same time, we make journalism accessible to everyone in downtown Bonn by offering free admission for people of all ages. The b° future festival makes a vital contribution to society by promoting dialogue, media literacy and trust in journalism.
As a sponsor of the b° future festival, you align your organization with values like democracy, diversity and dialogue. You demonstrate a commitment to a livable future and take a stand against hate, extremism and disinformation.

Diversity
Participation, diversity and inclusion are crucial for our democracy and forward-looking, perspective-rich journalism. These values are therefore also at the heart of the b° future festival, which takes place in the international city of Bonn.
It is important to us that people of diverse backgrounds, ages, genders, skin colors, religions, mental and physical abilities, and sexual orientations feel comfortable at the festival. And we ensure that this diversity is visible at our events!
