The corona pandemic defies the international community with transgressive challenges of historic proportions. The zero point has been re-calibrated and the future is being re-written. This global break exposes the weaknesses of the world, but it also reveals the potential for social change. The crisis offers a wide range of opportunities to strengthen Germany’s and Europe’s position as a hub for knowledge and business. However, achieving this will require several things: Unconditional courage for innovation in political decision-making, along with the agility and digital leadership of enterprises.
