Panel Summary: 

We are currently facing a unique crisis with, what will almost certainly prove to be, long-term social, economic and political ramifications. However, there seems to be a silver lining to this cloud: the private sector, including the technology and innovation ecosystem, seems to be voluntarily mobilizing in order to mitigate the crisis. In this panel, we’ll get a deeper understanding of what role the technology ecosystem can play from an academic, corporate, and startup perspective, speaking to representatives from both sides of the Atlantic. We’ll delve in on what efforts have been made, including what has succeeded and failed, and what the future might look like.

In cooperation with the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) and GIANT Innovation.
