CEO x CEO: Zukunft Made in Germany

What happens when two of Germany’s most influential CEOs discuss the forces that are fundamentally transforming business and society right now? Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, and Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens, will come together on stage—moderated by Gabor Steingart. The discussion will focus on artificial intelligence and how it is changing work, industry, and leadership. But it’s also about Europe, technological sovereignty, bureaucracy, and the question of what Germany and Europe can learn from the U.S. And, of course, it’s about the people behind the corporations: What drives these two CEOs? How do they lead through times of fundamental change? And what does it take not only to master technology, but also to shape its benefits for people and companies?
