What does Smart Country mean? Does Germany already have a digital infrastructure? What needs to happen to make Germany more digital? Who needs to get involved for this to happen? Four questions we asked Jörg Dräger (a member of the board at the Bertelsmann Stiftung).
The interview was put together as part of an expert commission at the Bertelsmann Stiftung for the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2017 on the topic of “Smart Country—Participation for everyone!”
The “Smart Country” project focuses on societal megatrends that pose challenges for Germany’s future, namely digitalisation and demographic change. They affect all areas of life. Can digital strategies help to ensure participation for everyone?
Seven expert interviews on the topic will be published during the next few weeks.
Note: The interviews are only available in German!
