The region on the water
For the third time, and according to Rhineland interpretation already a traditional event, the Digital City of Düsseldorf network took to the water. Around 600 people from business, politics and administration met on the MS Rhein-Energie, the flagship of the Cologne-Düsseldorf passenger shipping company. After a welcome address by NRW Minister of the Interior Herbert Reul, the cruise departed from Cologne for Düsseldorf. The journey was used for three panel discussions on the topics of skills shortages, competitiveness and artificial intelligence (AI) - topics that concern our customers and us as a company.
