Europe's Digital Future: How to Get from User to Shaper?

with Karsten Wildberger & Larissa Holzki

Thursday 9 July 10:50 – 11:20 Mainstage

About This Session

Germany stands at a turning point: rarely has it been so clear how much political and economic power comes with access to the latest technology. Attempts to restrict non-US access to the best AI models show, more than ever, why digital sovereignty matters. In conversation with Handelsblatt reporter Larissa Holzki, Federal Minister Dr. Karsten Wildberger discusses what a modern state must deliver, how Germany can build the infrastructure it needs, and which steps must be taken to move the country from merely using new technologies to actively shaping them.
