Using a new format – International Innovation Talks (IIT) – BDI is promoting industry-related collaboration directly relevant to the SDGs, building innovation-bridges in times of political protectionism and laying ground for concrete follow-up industry innovation projects.
In this edition, which is co-organised by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Innovation Policy Center, we will dive into the technology of 5G, which provides enormous opportunities both for industry and society. Every new technology faces different challenges - both in its effective creation and then distribution across society. The same holds true for 5G. This virtual event aspires to connect the U.S. and German 5G debates. We want to highlight opportunities (and obstacles) that lie ahead of both countries – separately and in cooperation with each other. We will strive to lay out aligned approaches and options to facilitate innovation so that our countries remain technology leaders.
