The D21 e. V. is, according to its own account, Germany's largest partnership between politics and business for shaping the information society . The initiative was founded in 1999 on the basis of an idea by Alfons Rissberger under the leadership of the then IBM Germany boss Erwin Staudt with the support of the then Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and comprises a cross-sector network of 200 member companies and institutions as well as political partners from the federal, state and regional governments Municipalities. The association is recognized as a non-profit organization and is based in Berlin .
Areas of activity
Studies
Every year, the D21 publishes the D21-Digital-Index, which examines the development of the degree of digitization of the German population - their access, their competence, their openness and their variety of uses in relation to digital media and the Internet . The study is a further development of the (N) ONLINER Atlas (2001–2014) and with around 33,000 respondents, it is the most comprehensive and meaningful study of Germans' Internet usage behavior. The index makes it possible to show the effects of innovations and events on the economy and society in detail, sustainably and over time. In addition, numerous special studies such as "Media Education in German Schools", "Mobile Internet Use" or the "eGovernment MONITOR" are published regularly.
Projects
In working groups, projects, workshops and internet forums , the D21 initiative offers numerous joint state and business initiatives a common platform for action. For example, in the area of IT skills in schools, numerous joint projects between computer manufacturers and school book publishers have emerged in the past. The D21 initiative has hosted the opening event of Girls' Day in the Federal Chancellery since 2001 . Furthermore, providers of quality seals for data protection, data security and consumer protection on the Internet are organized in the D21 quality seal board . In addition, the initiative addresses key issues at its annual congresses such as the network policy of the future in 2010 and “Digital Society: The Success Factor for Germany as a Business Location” in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in 2014.
In 2020, the D21 initiative was one of the initiators of the world's largest hackathon #WirVsVirus by the federal government for projects against the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic .
