Ingo Dachwitz & Sven Hilbig
Ingo Dachwitz is a communication scientist and works as a political tech journalist for the award-winning investigative platform netzpolitik.org. In recent years, his expertise on the ethics of digitalisation has been sought by, among others, the Federal Chancellery and the Protestant Church in Germany. In 2024, he received the Alternative Media Award and the Grimme Online Award for his research on the global data industry.
Sven Hilbig is a legal scholar and expert on digitalisation and trade policy at the non-profit organisation Bread for the World. Together with partners from the Global South, he works to combat new forms of colonialism. For years, he has been one of the few in Germany involved in the World Trade Organisation’s negotiations on a new e-commerce agreement. He regularly publishes in the political monthly “Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik“.
