Hamburg Science Summit 2024: “Europe’s Path Towards Tech Sovereignty”
Organized by the Körber-Stiftung and the Ministry of Science in Hamburg.
Technologies shape our daily lives and will do so even more in the years to come. In a world facing global challenges, from the climate crisis to the emergence of pandemics, technological innovation plays a crucial part in ensuring health, prosperity and sustainability. But technologies also play a critical role in geopolitics. Be it the development of artificial intelligence, new vaccines or key innovations for the energy transition: The rapidly intensifying competition for the best technologies has become a matter of geopolitical power. From a European perspective, this raises the question of how Europe – including both EU and non-EU partners – should navigate the global technology race.
Key questions:
How can Europe remain competitive in crucial fields such as artificial intelligence, energy storage, and medical technologies on a global scale?
What kind of financial, political and social framework conditions are needed to promote Europe’s technological sovereignty?
In which fields, if any, should Europe aim for technological sovereignty? And where should it rely on its global partners?
Confirmed speakers and institutional hosts include:
Enrico Letta (Jacques Delors Institute, former Prime Minister of Italy)
Maria-Cristina Russo (EU Directorate-General Research and Innovation)
Uwe Cantner (German Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation)
Alena Buyx (former Chair German Ethics Council)

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
