IDG Germany

Foundry is at the intersection of media and martech. Our industry is about people, not machines. Algorithms, optimization and automation play a role in what we do, but connections and trusted relationships are vital. We derive fully-consented data from our ecosystem of global editorial brands, awards, and events, and use it to power our media, demand generation and martech solutions making them among the most effective in the market. We're passionate about the fact that tech can be a force for good. Leveraged wisely, it can have a hugely positive influence, and to this end we're driving progress globally in a number of areas, including diversity and inclusion, tech accessibility and women in leadership, both at our company and through our channels. We are Foundry. As a service provider, we provide media, services, congresses and conferences for the ITC industry. Our portfolio, which is unique in the German IT media segment, includes media brands such as PC-WELT, Macwelt, COMPUTERWOCHE, CIO and ChannelPartner. With TecChannel.de, the webzine for technology-oriented IT experts, and our other media brands, we are one of the leading providers on the Internet. The editorial concept of all IDG titles is based on a consistent reader orientation with continuous further development of the content and, together with the innovative linking of the various media channels (print, online, mobile, social media, events) forms the basis for the success of our company.
