In the framework of the BBWF Conference 2017, aconium GmbH organized the “Governmental Workshop” on 24 October. Over 100 experts, decision makers and representatives from local, regional and national authorities from Germany and the EU member states discussed the latest broadband topics from policy measures to local best practices.
The workshop was featured with keynotes from the European Commission, aconium GmbH, German Federal Broadband Bureau as well as a panel discussion in the context of current broadband issues in Europe. This was followed by an introduction to the CORA project (COnnecting Remote Areas with digital infrastructure and services) with the focus on bridging rural digital divide in Europe.
Moderated by Chris Ashe, director at European Institute for Innovation (EIfI), the workshop was a great success in bringing together stakeholders from all over Europe and developing a common platform to exchange knowledge and experience on broadband initiatives and practices.
Presentations of the workshop are available as pdf downloads on the event page.
