From September 4–13, 2026, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup brings the world's best teams to Berlin, with 16 nations competing for the title. Attention is high – but visibility for women's basketball in Germany still has a long way to go.
That's where this panel comes in, asking what role technology plays in shaping how the sport is seen and experienced. Taking the World Cup as its starting point, the conversation explores how technological progress and social change intersect in sport, and what it takes to turn this moment into lasting momentum.
Svenja Brunckhorst brings that perspective firsthand. A 3x3 basketball Olympic champion, she's seen the sport from the inside – and today, as a manager at ALBA BERLIN, she's actively driving the next chapter for girls' and women's basketball in Germany.
