“The limits of traditional business models, management practices, and corporate cultures are clear. So we urgently need new ideas and approaches,” says Tim Leberecht, co-founder of the House of Beautiful Business. “We find the important impulses for this at the intersection of business, technology, science, and art. With our platform, which focuses on intellectual and emotional experiences, we create space for new thinking and action.”

Users gain access to the platform through a membership or customized partnership program. Registration includes digital content as well as on-site events.
