On Artificial intelligence, from the agreement On Artificial intelligence, from the agreement In 2018 the German Government presented a comprehensive strategy for the development of artificial intelligence (Al) in Germany. The Swedish Government also launched its national approach for AI in 2018, which has since been translated into several actions. Against this backdrop, the aim of the partnership is to deepen the long-standing cooperation of different research institutions and universities and create a network to exchange knowledge between Germany and Sweden. Key Swedish - stakeholders such as Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), Linko ping University, Chalmers University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology will initiate collaboration with German counterparts, such as the Universities of Munich and Berlin and the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence. Both countries will cooperate with initiatives that foster the building of a strong European AI ecosystem, such as Applied AI Initiative/ UnternehmerTUM in Germany and RISE AI in Sweden. Best practices in research and development will be exchanged to support the transfer from research into applied AI. Research collaboration to promote broader application of AI will be explored. Opportunities to address the skills shortage within the area of AI will be explored, for example through AI courses within specialised niches. This area will be coordinated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy together with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and by the Swedish Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation, together with the Swedish Ministry of Education and Research.
Objective for round-tabel discussion Our discussion aims at proposing further focus of the intentions in the Joint Declaration of Intent between the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden on a German - Swedish partnership for innovation: Innovation and cooperation for a sustainable future.

Platforms We are losing hefty on establishing AI and platform economy in Europe. B2C is already occupied in these winners takes most markets, left are some B2B aspects, such as machine-as-a-service or AI+Health, among few others.
