DIGITAL X: Driving Europe's Digital Future and Innovation
DIGITAL X is Europe's leading digitalization initiative. Initiated by Deutsche Telekom, it brings together corporations, SMEs, start-ups, politicians, and experts from across all industries to drive forward the digital transformation in business, politics, and society. It is the network for people who aren't waiting for digitalization to happen – they're making it happen.
The Premiere: DIGITAL X Focus Edition
On September 10, Cologne became the heartbeat of the digital future and the pulse of the digital future. Our first DIGITAL X Focus Edition showed what happens when vision meets creative drive. What we had announced in advance came to pass: What matters tomorrow was created here—with strong impulses, innovative ideas, and plenty of room for exchange on artificial intelligence and digital business. Together with around 5,000 future shapers, we experienced a day that will be remembered for a long time to come.
Highlights of the Event
A day that inspires and leaves you wanting more, whose momentum will continue long after the event is over. The highlights included:
- Inspiring keynotes from thought leaders such as Scott Galloway, Maja Göpel, Hendrik Wüst, Keren Elazari, Matthias Horx, and Kenza Ait Si Abbou.
- Practical masterclasses and a hands-on innovation playground.
- Exciting use cases from strong partners and startups.
Once again, it became clear that AI is a driver of efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness – but it only unleashes its full potential when we work together. For sustainable progress, digital sovereignty, and strong competitiveness – in Germany and Europe.
