Break New Ground

The new innovation conference “Break New Ground”

Welcome to “Break New Ground” the new innovation conference powered by Group Partnering & Devices and Deutsche Telekom’s tech incubator Hubraum. At Break New Ground we explore various perspectives around new cutting-edge topics and offer a space for innovation enthusiasts, pioneering thinkers, and startups to exchange on business opportunities and meet new partners. 

This time, it is all about XR and the Metaverse. 

Why XR and the Metaverse?

Just like “Cyberspace” in 1996, we don’t have a universal definition of what “Metaverse” means or exactly where it will take us. However, we do know the Metaverse will be as important a concept as the Internet and that over the next years it will have a pervasive impact on businesses and consumers. XR technologies have continued to evolve to provide the ground level support needed to deliver innovative Metaverse experiences. 

We are pleased to break new ground with our most exciting partners to show the latest of these technologies and meaningful use cases that they enable. 

Let’s drive innovation together.
