    Summary International Symposium The Digital Challenge in Germany and Japan in Comparison: Opportunities, Risks, and Digital Cooperation Hamburg 18 – 19 June 2019 by Opeoluwa Joseph Oguntoye and Jan Kronschnabel (University of Osnabrueck) Is digitalization a blessing or a curse? This question has in recent times taken a front role in the hall of intellectual discussion. This is particularly so given its inevitable impact in every sphere of human interaction. From the agricultural, health and industrial sector, to the platform economy, legal and moral ethics of technological changes, several scholars have begun investigating the impact of digitalization in the postmodern society. The interdisciplinary symposium organised by the Japanese Research Centre, the University of Osnabrück and the German-Japanese Society for Social Sciences from 18 to 19 June 2019 with the support of the Japanese Consulate General in Hamburg and the participation of the Japanese Consul General Kato at the University of Hamburg and the GIGA Hamburg highlighted the future challenges, including the problem of an ageing society, the future of work, ethical and moral questions on digitalization, democracy and identity politics, but also possibilities such as remote work, smart city technology, efficient use of resources and effective health care. However, digitalization, while providing answers to many of the problems we are currently facing, raises questions that need to be answered. With such pressing issues on the agenda, German and Japanese experts from different disciplines critically analyzed the prospects but also the problems of digitalization, suggesting ways by which we could tackle these problems. The symposium started with Professor Franz Waldenberger's (DIJ Tokyo) presentation on “Society 5.0 - Japan’s visions and ambitions for the digital age” where he described 1 and critically assessed the smart Japan initiative highlighting the strength, weaknesses, and challenges of achieving such highly ambitious goals.
