About the webinar
The KAS German-Japanese Economic Policy Exchange series aims to provide an open platform of exchange on economic policy. Important Japanese and German/EU actors in economic policy, from policymakers to representatives of the business sectors, will be invited to openly discuss the challenges and perspectives of their respective economies, achieve a better understanding of each other and enrich the quality of policymaking. The first online event in the series of the KAS German-Japanese Economic Policy Exchange, “Economic policy in view of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative view of Japanese and German/EU strategies”, will look at this “new normal” of life with COVID-19 from the business angle.
The following three areas will form the basis of the exchange:
- Lessons learned from previous COVID-19 waves with a focus on the role of digitalisation during the pandemic
- The importance of public-private partnership in providing an effective response to the global challenges accelerated by the pandemic
- How the EU-Japan Strategic Partnership Agreement can provide solutions to the current challenges faced by businesses
