In 1963 the international military science meeting was initiated by Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Schmenzin . The resistance fighter from the Stauffenberg district campaigned to prevent future military conflicts such as World War II . The first meeting was limited to about 60 participants, including Helmut Schmidt and Henry Kissinger .

Von Kleist headed the conferences until 1997. His successor was the politician and business manager Horst Teltschik , who was in charge from 1999 to 2008. Under the leadership of Teltschik, the security conference opened from 1999 to political, military and business representatives from Central and Eastern Europe as well as from India, Japan and the People's Republic of China. Since 2009 the conference has been chaired by the former diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger . Ischinger founded the Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz gGmbH Foundation in 2011 , and has been its managing director ever since.

conference

The security conference is privately organized and not an official government event. It serves exclusively for discussion among the participants, who also use it for discrete background discussions. There are also other meetings that are organized on the fringes of the conferences. Many of these more than 100 side events are carried out together with NGOs, including Transparency International , Greenpeace and Amnesty International .

No binding intergovernmental resolutions will be passed at the security conference and no final communiqués will be published. The presentation of global political decisions, for example through the exchange of the ratification documents for the START disarmament agreement between the USA and Russia , which was reached on the sidelines of the security conference in 2011, is extraordinary . The Munich Security Conference was canceled twice, in 1991 due to the Second Gulf War and in 1997 due to Kleist-Schmenzin's departure.

The Munich Security Report has been published in the run-up to the conference since 2015 .

The University of Pennsylvania recognized the Munich Security Conference 2017 as the world's best think tank conference for the fourth time in a row .

In addition to the security conference, other events on various topics such as energy or cybersecurity will take place over the course of a year.

criticism

Demonstration 2014
Rally 2019

The conference is accompanied every year by protests by peace initiatives and anti-armaments. In February 2002, over 750 people were taken into custody for taking part in the prohibited protests. The DGB building was surrounded by the police for several hours. In addition, there were several house searches, some of them nationwide, as part of the security conference. On the left-wing alternative Internet platform Indymedia , participants in the demonstration criticized the police, in particular the USK , for their appearance in Munich during the conference. In 2003, 35,000 people demonstrated against the impending Iraq war . In 2004 members of the German Union of Journalists registered attacks on journalists.

The globalization-critical network Attac criticizes the "military orientation" of the conference. According to the organizers, a large number of police forces must therefore be deployed to protect the participants; in 2009 there were 3,500. In addition, several hundred Bundeswehr soldiers are being made available for logistical support services. Rudolf Stumberger criticizes the associated costs in Stern magazine . Since 2003, the International Munich Peace Conference has been held at the same time as a counter-event . In 2007, the Internet newspaper ngo-online criticized remarks made by the then chairman of the security conference regarding the right to demonstrate and the exclusion of critical positions and parties from the security conference.

financing

The federal government also contributes to the financing . Since the budget year 2010, the budget of the Federal Press Office (BPA) provided funds for "project funding" in the amount of 350,000 euros for the MSC. In 2014, as in 2013, there were 637,000 euros for personnel and 71,000 euros for material costs for the Bundeswehr. In 2015, the "project funding" was increased to 500,000 euros.

The Bavarian State Government and the City of Munich are also promoting the conference. This is also supported by the partner Linde and the associate partners Allianz SE , BMW , Hensoldt , Krauss-Maffei Wegmann , Siemens and Telekom Deutschland . The NGO partners of the event include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt , the German Society for International Cooperation , Human Rights Watch , the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Zeit Foundation .

In 2019 the GmbH was converted into a foundation. Ischinger brought in his business capital, the Free State of Bavaria one million euros and the federal government will contribute two million euros. Ischinger is the chairman of the group of founders.

Cyber ​​Security Summit

In 2012, the annual autumn conference in Bonn was held for the first time in cooperation with Telekom . Since the first event was held under the Chatham House Rule , it is not known who the participants or speakers were. According to media reports, however, the supervisory board chairman of Deutsche Bank, Paul Achleitner , the head of the construction company Bilfinger Berger , Roland Koch , as well as Peter Terium , CEO of the energy supplier RWE and Johannes Teyssen from E.ON were present. In contrast to the Munich Security Conference, the orientation of the summit is based on Germany.

During the first summit, separate working groups took place in which the hazard analysis was carried out on an industry-specific basis on the basis of areas of activity classified as relevant:

  • energy
  • Finances
  • health
  • logistics
  • media
  • production

On November 11th, 2013 the 2nd event with the following 4 topics took place in Bonn:

  1. Trust in the digital society
  2. New threat scenarios for businesses
  3. Regulatory framework at national and international level
  4. Strategies and solution concepts

Unlike in 2012, at least the list of speakers was public:

The third event took place on November 3, 2014. 180 representatives from politics, business, the EU and NATO took part. In his opening speech, Telekom CEO Höttges reported on the steadily growing number of attacks on data and digital infrastructures, in which the Telekom network alone is exposed to 1 million attacks every day. He cited a CSIS study that put the global damage caused by cybercrime at US $ 575 billion per year. To protect data from access by US authorities, Höttges called for a revision of the Safe Harbor Agreement and was supported by the federal government's intelligence coordinator, Klaus-Dieter Fritsche .

MSC chairman Ischinger described the great geopolitical importance of cybersecurity, including as a result of the Ukraine conflict, with which war returned to Europe as a political tool. State Secretary Brigitte Zypries named the planned IT security law with its reporting obligation in the event of cyber attacks for companies from sensitive economic areas as the Federal Government's contribution to increasing data security . Andy Müller-Maguhn , a former spokesman for the Chaos Computer Club , emphasized the importance of secure encryption for data security and warned of the "back doors" that RSA Security had built in for the NSA . Elmar Brok , Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the EU Parliament , and Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg also called for offensive measures to ward off cyberattacks and emphasized the need for a deterrent component. This was contradicted by Ben Wizner, representative of the American Civil Liberties Union and lawyer for Edward Snowden .

The topics of digital defense, cyber governance, promoting innovation in the field of data security and preventive data protection were discussed in separate working groups.

The fourth Cyber ​​Security Summit took place on September 19 and 20, 2016 and was jointly hosted by MSC, Deutsche Telekom and Stanford University in Palo Alto , Silicon Valley . 140 representatives from the fields of politics, security and business took part in the event. A central topic of the meeting was the upcoming US presidential election and how cyberattacks can influence it. The chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, expressed his fear that such attacks could damage confidence in democratic elections. Other topics included the defense against cyber attacks and cyber terrorism, the future of warfare, the economic relevance of cybersecurity and the development of new regulations for the Internet. MSC chairman Ischinger spoke out in favor of closer coordination between politics and technology in order to jointly create the basis for an open, free and secure Internet. In connection with the Internet of Things , Marc Goodman from the American think tank Singularity University warned that “anything can be hacked”. Goodman predicted an "epic battle" for the Internet from a variety of stakeholders. Peter Neumann from King's College London described the hierarchical structure of security authorities as an organizational problem in the fight against cybercrime because it contradicts the functioning of the Internet.

Other attendees included Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and CTO of CrowdStrike, Michael Chertoff , former US Secretary of State , Chairman and Founder of the Chertoff Group, Michael McFaul , Director of the Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University and former US Ambassador to Russia, Iddo Moed, cybersecurity coordinator at the Israeli State Department , Christopher Painter, cyber coordinator at the US State Department , Latha Reddy, former National Security Advisor of India and currently member of the Global Commission for Internet Governance, and Uri Rosenthal , former Dutch Foreign Minister and current special envoy his country for cyber politics.

In 2018, the Cyber ​​Security Summit took place in Tallinn for the first time , and the group of participants also included German scientists such as Christoph Meinel , Key Pousttchi and Gabi Dreo Rodosek .

Energy Security Summit

Together with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, MSC has been organizing the Energy Security Summit since 2013 . The first meeting took place on July 10, 2013 in the ballroom of the Frankfurt Palmengarten under the patronage of Federal Ministers Philipp Rösler and Peter Altmaier . In addition to energy security , other topics at the event were climate change , the geostrategic consequences of fracking and the German energy transition .

The second Energy Security Summit took place on May 27 and 28, 2014 in Berlin . Important topics of the meeting were the “ shale gas revolution” in the USA and the Ukraine conflict . In his speech, Federal Foreign Minister Steinmeier assessed energy policy as an important component of foreign and security policy . Steinmeier spoke out in favor of a European energy union and called on the European states to remain united in connection with the Ukraine conflict. The minister stressed the need to compromise in the Russian-Ukrainian gas dispute and warned against excessive expectations of American shale gas as a replacement for Russian gas supplies. EU Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger had also spoken out in favor of a European energy union with a uniform gas price . At the same time, he referred to German energy policy as the "Romantic Valley". Oettinger called energy a strategic question in which Germany had to contribute with technological and political competence. During the meeting, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk described the Ukraine conflict as a "global security conflict" for which Russia alone was responsible. Yatsenyuk stressed his country's refusal to pay a "political price" to Russia for gas supplies. The prime minister declared his country's readiness for a common energy policy with the EU.

The third Energy Security Summit took place again on May 5th and 6th, 2015 in Berlin. During the meeting, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh described his country's plans for developing the energy sector after the end of the sanctions. After the agreement reached earlier in the Iranian nuclear dispute, the minister called for the economic sanctions to be lifted quickly. Hopes that Tehran was planning to build a gas pipeline to Europe and could thus weaken Russia's dominant role in the European gas market, the minister denied during the meeting, referring to transit problems and fees. At the same time, the minister announced investments in the Iranian oil and gas industry amounting to 180 billion dollars, which Iran intends to make by 2022. Further topics were the planned Energy Union in Europe, for which u. a. Maroš Šefčovič , Vice President of the EU Commission , and Rainer Baake , Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy , promoted the German energy transition. Bärbel Höhn , Chair of the Environment Committee , described it as an important contribution Germany made to the global development of a decentralized energy supply that would reduce dependencies and contribute to security and peace. Criticism came from Greenpeace boss Kumi Naidoo, who described the high proportion of lignite in power generation as the "Achilles heel" of German energy policy, and Michael Fuchs , deputy chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group , who put the burdens on citizens through the promised subsidies Emphasized the amount of 480 billion euros.
