The digital transformation oscillates between the extremes: hate speech, surveillance, automation in the world of work on the one hand. On the other hand - access to education online, drones as suppliers in remote areas, transparency and participation. The reality and our future are somewhere in between. But how do we achieve a balance in a globalized world? In a world in which the realities of people could not be more different. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development is asking itself precisely this question.In this session, we highlight various future scenarios. What kind of digital technologies are going to prevail and determine our lives in the year 2030? What kind of digital technologies might take hold in developing and emerging countries in the long run?

We invited exciting guests who will present their insights and do a ‘reality check’ with us to see what is really possible.
