The seed content for the dialog platform was generated through “The Table of Free Voices” in Berlin on September 9, 2006 where 112 personalities engaged with 100 questions donated by the global public. The transcripts and videos of their 11,200 answers are publicly available on the dropping knowledge website. By joining dropping knowledge as a founding partner in 2005, Allianz aims to initiate new sustainable projects and learn from the outcomes of the global dialog.
