Hintergrund #7: President Joe Biden – a new era for transatlantic economies and politics? - a podcast by Hirschen Group

What impact will the administration of upcoming US president Joe Biden have on the European economy? What issues will play a role on both sides of the Atlantic? What can we expect from the US and what not? How should decision makers prepair for that? The issues at stake are certainly enormous: climate change and sustainability, digital ecosystems, free speech and data privacy are only two large fields that our societies and economies need to address. Sonja Schaub invited Marie Stafford from Wunderman Thompson in London and Constance Chucholowski from 365 Sherpas in Berlin to share their perspectives on the role of politics, brands and businesses as well as everyone of us – in the form of voter and consumer. How should companies navigate this new er of transatlantic collaboration? And what role will we as societies play, especially Generation Z?
