Paying bills with a mobile phone, free Wi-Fi in public transport or online access to government services - what other countries have been offering for years is far from nationwide implementation in Germany.
Why are we lagging behind?
What are the reasons for Germany’s slow pace digital development?

In connection with the INFORMATIK 2018 conference in Berlin you are invited to attend a two-day conference about the current state of digitalization in Germany. We have invited speakers from Brazil, Rwanda and China to learn about digital strategies that have received international attention and recognition. And we hope they can offer some inspiration for Germany’s digital development pathway.
