Digital transformation at the center of international business and politics
Guest speaker Dr. Philipp Rösler shows how technical innovations affect our society. Ask him your provocative questions.
Here is your livestream link – we will start on 19 November at 5 p.m.
What opportunities does digitisation offer for the international economy and Switzerland as a business location? Does digital transformation lead to more cooperation and democracy or to isolation and competition? What challenges does this create for politics in Switzerland and abroad?
We will explore these and other questions in an opening presentation and in the public discussion in the ZHAW event series. “ZHAW digital” invites students, employees, and the public to discuss with the former Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Economic Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr. Philipp Rösler, how technical innovations can affect society, government and industry. We look forward to your provocative questions!
