Former 'Games Minister' Robert Habeck will join this week's IFA on a gaming and technology stage by Webedia. Whether discussions will stay on the announced topics of global politics and climate economy after Habeck's big exit interview from politics remains to be seen.

Robert Habeck, former Federal Minister for Economy and Climate Action and in this function Germany’s former ‘Games Minister’, might have drawn back from politics, but he seems to not be done with gaming. At IFA, Habeck will appear on Webedia’s gaming and technology stage show Find Your Next Tech.

The former Vice Chancellor had just recently announced his departure from politics and his disentchantment with German Federal politicians in no unclear terms. With the topics he was responsible, he seems to not yet be done though. While the programme puts hin into a talk about climate, economy and global crises, his connection to the German games industry will assumingly have an impact on the topics of the panel discussion.
