How can Germany remain a leading industrial hub in the face of global competition? And how can we achieve a form of digitalization that eases the burden rather than creating new obstacles?

To start, Federal Minister Dr. Wildberger will give an introductory note

The discussion will touch upon the following

Regulation, Reducing Bureaucracy, and Global Competitiveness: Does reducing bureaucracy become a locational advantage? How does the government ensure digital competitiveness? What investments enable companies to remain competitive in the face of the global digital transformation?
Innovation, Data, and New Business Models: Legal certainty versus barriers to innovation for data-driven services, connected devices, and AI applications. How can a balance be struck between data usage, data protection, and the protection of trade secrets and intellectual property? What role does cybersecurity play for connected products?
