The consultant and entrepreneur Inga Bergen is to be honored with the 11th For..Net Award for her work in promoting the digital transformation in healthcare. The prize for outstanding efforts on behalf of the common good and the digital transformation is awarded by the TUM Center for Digital Public Services (TUM CDPS) and juris GmbH.

With her entrepreneurial commitment and her work on advisory boards, she brings people together and accompanies the implementation of innovations in order to improve the provision of healthcare.
The award, a sculpture by the artist Josef Nistler, will be presented at a gala evening on April 18 at the 18th International For..Net Symposium.

It promotes outstanding interdisciplinary research and works as a think tank to provide decision makers in politics and the private sector with evidence-based recommendations to successfully shape the digital transformation. The bidt also promotes the public dialog between researchers and society.
The name of the conference and the award is derived from the former research unit for IT law and network policy For..Net at the University of Passau, which was headed by Prof. Dirk Heckmann, the director of TUM CDPS, before he joined TUM.
