Rethinking Industries: How AI and Robotics Are Reshaping Europe’s Economic Future

AI and robotics are moving fast – and they’re not just transforming technology, but entire economies. As global competition accelerates, how is Germany’s and Europe’s business landscape adapting? And what must happen now to stay relevant?
This session brings together voices from industry, tech, and policy to explore how AI can drive productivity, efficiency, and entirely new business models – from manufacturing and logistics to services and SMEs. Are companies making bold enough moves? Do we have the right talent, infrastructure, and mindset? Can Europe turn its industrial strength and trusted data into a real competitive edge – and if so, on whose technology stack?
A candid conversation about how German and European economies must rethink, reinvent, and retool themselves for the AI age – and decide who they want to depend on in the process.
