eco Newsletter: News from the worlds of politics and the Internet economy
eco updated its newsletters in 2025: the new eco update was launched in the autumn and has been published every 14 days since then. It combines the content from the two German-language newsletters previously published – “eco weekly” and “eco politik digital” – and is thus a consolidated all-in-one format for news about the industry, current digital policy issues and our association’s activities.
In addition, the German-language newsletter “eco politik digital” provides all interested parties with political insights from the German Bundestag during sitting weeks. The English-language newsletter eco european offers updates on current trends in Brussels by email, delivered free of charge.
eco Podcast: An Ear to the Internet
A new episode of eco’s German-language podcast “Das Ohr am Netz” (an Ear to the Internet) is released every two weeks, in which we discuss digital topics and the IT sector with guests from politics, academia and business. Sidonie Krug, Member of the Managing Board and Head of Association Communications, together with TV and radio presenter Sven Oswald, welcome the listeners. An in-house PR editorial team prepares the content. Thematically, the episodes cover all aspects of the Internet industry. This includes the potential of digital business models and the use of future technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing. Digital policy processes and challenges also form an important part of the format.
Krug and Oswald interview leading figures in the industry, share insights and highlight various viewpoints and opinions on current debates. The episodes are accompanied by a brief news round-up and an assessment from various voices within the association. In 2025, the podcast once again welcomed high-profile figures from the digital sector as guests, including Digital Minister Dr Karsten Wildberger and President Claudia Plattner from BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security).
All episodes can be listened to in German on the eco website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Deezer.
Social media: up-to-date and concise
The eco Association’s Flickr account features over 65,000 photos, which have been viewed more than ten million times. Primarily on German’s LinkedIn, but also on Bluesky, X and Facebook, eco provides varied information in a concise format. More information on the association’s English-language social media presence can be found in the eco International section.
Joining the dots in the industry
First published in 2017, dotmagazine covers the entire spectrum of the Internet industry: with monthly focus topics, the online magazine documents the experience and expert knowledge of the association, its members and partners. The content ranges from infrastructure to the countless applications and business cases that make the Internet possible in the first place. In addition, the dotmagazine newsletter is published monthly in English and is aimed at interested readers from all over the world. More information can be found in the eco international section.
YouTube: Diversity in moving images
eco’s YouTube channel also reflects the diversity of the association’s activities: these include event documentation, recordings of hybrid events such as the Net Policy Forum and the AllianceTalks, expert interviews and specialist briefings.
