The current coronavirus pandemic poses a global challenge for the economy and society in addition to the considerable risks to health. Even if the effects vary depending on the industry, companies and industries that operate in the area of critical infrastructure in particular come under increasing pressure in times like these. The state or the political leadership of a country or the federal states and municipalities have a significant role to play here.
Particularly when markets that are important for Europe, such as China and the USA, are largely shut down, there are hardly any alternatives to fall back on in tightly synchronized supply and value chains. The fragility and dependency of systems is becoming a global challenge, and resilience the most important characteristic.
Furthermore, it is currently still uncertain how long the restrictions will remain in place and what impact this will have on the complex structures of the globalized economy in the long term.
In our online panel on the topic of “AI and crisis – opportunities and challenges of using AI”, our experts from business, science and society discuss the challenges that globally active companies and economic sectors are currently facing and the special role that government institutions have to play in such times. They will provide insights into current measures to cushion recessionary trends and show how a rapidly growing technology such as artificial intelligence can provide support in times of global crisis, e.g. to allocate resources in ailing supply and value chains in the best possible way and how a state’s digitalization strategies can be adapted to meet the challenges.
We were able to recruit the following experts for our online panel:
- Dr. Adrian Fiedler (lawyer and consultant for digital strategies in the state administration)
- Riina Leminsky (Head of Enterprise Estonia Germany)
- Prof. Dr. Bernd Schichold (Finance, Nexperia)
- Prof. Dr. Nick Gehrke (Head of Finance Management and Accounting, Nordakademie / Data Scientist, Zapliance)

The event will take place online on 29.04.2020 at 3 pm.
