3rd European Digital Week 2021 | Maleki Group | 1 November 2021 | Online Event

“Understanding the crisis as an opportunity” - a sentence that one could often hear in the year one of the corona pandemic, which was behind us. A chance to finally advance the much-touted digitization?

More employees than ever are working from home, people meet via video conference, meetings only take place virtually. Municipalities strive to offer their citizens all possible applications online. Shopping trips take place on the home computer or smartphone, and schools teach almost exclusively digitally.

A study by the digital association Bitkom confirmed in November 2020 "The corona pandemic is a digitization driver for the German economy". It is no longer just traditional IT companies that feel addressed when it comes to digitization, but also in more traditionally oriented companies from a wide variety of industries, changed business models are emerging: whether it is the digital bank account or car sharing, the foreign language app, music or film streaming services . Industry uses 3D printers, and entire production facilities are intelligently networked with one another.
With the european digital week (edw) , the Maleki Corporate Group - together with various partners - has established a European conference week in which the latest topics in digitization from business, politics, science and society are discussed and innovative projects are presented over five days.
