Episode Description

The buzz: “There can be no doubt that the transportation sector is the most critical sector of our economy” (Robert Brady). Today’s Mega Trend: The future of mobility. How are the individual aspects of mobility – Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric (“CASE”) – really faring? What is the impact on the economy and society? Will cities and regions will soon benefit? It’s time for a reality check to separate the hype from the business and social opportunities across the global economy. The experts speak. Tom Kohnen, SAP: “Yes but it‘s called the future, so get used to it!“ (Q to James Bond, “Die Another Day”). Holger Wittwer, SAP: “Brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. They let us prove how badly we want things” (Randy Pausch). Max Claps, SAP: “Public transportation takes you from a place you don’t know how to get to, to a place where you don’t want to get to” (Anonymous). Join us for Mega Trend: Mobility and Transportation Hype vs Opportunity.
