PARTNER PUBLICATION - Digitalisation was a major theme of Germany’s G20 Presidency in 2017, which ran under the motto "Shaping an Interconnected World”, and is a key factor for strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive global economic growth. The Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy thus invited the G20 digitalisation ministers and digital industry to discuss how digitalisation can be successfully shaped. This was the first such meeting in the history of the G20.
