Global Trade

The global economy is facing its greatest challenges in a long time. Global crises and the war of aggression on Ukraine are causing critical disruptions to our supply chains and highlighting how less resilient the system of global world trade really is. But how might things be different? What steps are needed to deal successfully with globalization? Will we succeed in establishing an economic system that secures global supplies, presupposes democratic action and the rule of law, and does not lose sight of climate protection?

Under the motto “Rethinking Globalization – Solutions for the Future”, we will explore these and other questions at the ZEIT Conference on the morning of September 22 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and outline possible solutions with exciting speakers.

In the afternoon of the conference day, specialists from Hapag Lloyd will give you an insight into the latest developments in maritime freight transport and look forward to discussing them with you.

Boris Herrmann

Boris Herrmann

Circumnavigator, Co-Founder and Skipper Team Malizia

Boris Herrmann is Germany’s best known professional offshore sailor. He has circled the globe four times and in 2020 was the first German to compete in the Vendée Globe, the toughest solo race around the world. After sailing non-stop on his own for 80 days and a dramatic finale, he finished within the top 5. His book about this experience, “Allein zwischen Himmel und Meer”, became a national bestseller. Boris Herrmann’s career started in 2001 when he was the youngest (and only German) participant in the Mini-Transat, a single-handed race across the Atlantic. Since then, he has successfully competed in many offshore races and has been involved in several world records, including the Golden Globe Race, Cape2Rio and San Francisco – Shanghai. In 2016, Boris and Pierre Casiraghi co-founded Team Malizia. It has become one of the most exciting sailing teams – also because of its commitment to climate action. In 2019, Boris Herrmann and Pierre Casiraghi sailed climate activist Greta Thunberg emission-free to the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City. This garnered media coverage worldwide and helped to put a spotlight on the climate crisis. It was Boris Herrmann’s idea to combine sailing, science, and education. He uses the excitement of sport to create awareness for the oceans and to highlight solutions to the climate crisis. The team’s slogan epitomizes both facets of its identity: A Race We Must Win – Climate Action Now! The team also contributes to scientific research with its Ocean Pack onboard the new IMOCA yacht Malizia-Seaexplorer. The device collects data during races and deliveries and shares them with research institutions like GEOMAR and the Max-Planck-Institut. Education is also an important aspect of Boris Herrmann’s and Team Malizia’s work. It’s their goal to introduce children all over the world to the wonders of the oceans and to the dangers they face through climate change. At the center of this is the educational program “My Ocean Challenge”, that is used in schools all over the world. Boris Herrmann lives in Hamburg with his wife Birte Lorenzen-Herrmann and their daughter.
