Claudia Langer is an entrepreneur at heart. Well before she graduated from high school she set up her first company, Avantgarde, which organized fashion shows, events and promotions. In 1992, Claudia and her husband, Gregor Wöltje, founded .start advertising, which soon turned into one of the leading creative places in advertising. Looking for new challenges, she sold .start in 2004 and fully devoted herself to her family. During the following sabbatical the idea of Utopia surfaced. Utopia AG launched the website utopia.de in November 2007 and quickly evolved into the biggest and most influential community for sustainable lifestyle and strategic consumption. The Utopia Foundation is home to some of the best thinkers in science, public life and the green economy. Politicians, corporations and the media seek the advice of Utopia.
