How can Germany and Sweden become world leaders in the digital economy?

The digital economy is developing rapidly and Europe is falling behind USA, China and others. How can Sweden and Germany make use of their close innovation partnership to create conditions for becoming leaders in the digital age? How can open data become more available for innovation?

The German-Swedish partnership for innovation, formed in 2017 by the two governments, has been extended to also include the area of AI. In this German Swedish Tech Forum seminar we will discuss how Sweden and Germany can make use of their partnership to create conditions for becoming leaders in the digital age and at the same time ensure that European values ​​and social norms are protected. How can we e.g. contribute to more innovation and new solutions for our societal challenges by increasing access to data from the public and business sector? What cooperation opportunities exist when utilizing Open Data in sustainable value chains, healthcare, energy efficiency and mobility? Our panel will discuss the topic from German and Swedish perspectives and provide examples of innovations and of what can be gained in a future with more accessible data
