That role is reserved for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The connecting element runs through all areas of GFU: it is about creating interfaces and enabling conversations. For example, as an industry insider, Carine Chardon moderated the Media Innovation Platform MIP#7 in Berlin on the topic of how artificial intelligence is being integrated along the audiovisual value chain. At IFA 2026, she sat on the panel for \u201cReimagine Electronics. Circular by Design.&#8221; and discussed with representatives from industry and research how the circular economy in the electronics sector is moving from a niche topic to an economic necessity.<\/p>\n<p>GFU continuously covers these and other stops on LinkedIn \u2013 with impressions, voices, and assessments from direct exchange.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            \n                            <div class=\"feature-teaser__button-wrap\">\n                    <a class=\"btn btn--ghost-white feature-teaser__cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/gfu\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GFU on LinkedIn<\/a>                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n            <div class=\"feature-teaser__graphic feature-teaser__graphic--bottom feature-teaser__graphic--fit-contain\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <div class=\"container feature-teaser__graphic-inner\">\n                <img\n                    class=\"feature-teaser__graphic-img\"\n                    src=\"https:\/\/gfu.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infografik-carine-chardon_messen.webp\"\n                    alt=\"\"\n                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                    decoding=\"async\"\n                >\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section  class=\"block block--section block--section-bg-color block--pad-normal block--section--width-1440 block--section--align-left block--bg-violett\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <div class=\"block--section__content\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<section  class=\"block block--feature-teaser block--bg-electric-blue block--pad-normal block--inset block--rounded\" style=\"--ft-graphic-top-w: 35%; --ft-graphic-top-y: 0px; --ft-graphic-top-ratio: 1 \/ 1; --ft-graphic-bottom-w: 35%; --ft-graphic-bottom-ratio: 1 \/ 1; --ft-text-color: var(--color-white); --link-color: var(--color-link-on-dark); --link-color-hover: var(--color-link-on-dark-hover)\">\n\n    <div class=\"container block__inner feature-teaser__inner\">\n\n        <div class=\"feature-teaser__content\">\n                            <p class=\"feature-teaser__eyebrow\">Active at IFA<\/p>\n            \n            <h2 class=\"feature-teaser__heading\" style=\"color: var(--color-white)\">At the heart of it as brand owner.<\/h2>\n                            <div class=\"feature-teaser__body\" style=\"color: var(--color-white)\"><p>At IFA Berlin, GFU plays an active role as brand owner and with what defines it: up-to-date figures on the market, trends, and developments.
