Keynote Speech on Digital Transformation by Dr. Sabine Junginger

Dr. Sabine Junginger was invited by the Municipality of Emmen to give a keynote speech at Dreikönigsgespräche Emmen on Digital Transformation on 6 January 2020. Her speech was titled as ‛Co-Designing our Digital Era’. Almost all aspects of digital transformation present new challenges but also new opportunities for communities and their local administrations. In her talk, Dr. Junginger explained how members that make up a local community,  i.e. citizens, business people and staff in local government can work together to develop sustainable visions and scenarios that allow for new structures, products and services. The talk illustrated how designing for human experiences and human interactions can produce outcomes for the common good.

She also contributed to the panel discussion with Michael Kost, Deputy Clerk of the Emmen Community and Benjamin Szemkus from Smart City Switzerland. The panel was moderated by André Gassmann, Head of Communication and Marketing/Business Promotion at the municipality of Emmen. More in the Luzerner Rundschau (in German).
