SUMMARY:New York Event - German-American Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The American Council on Germany and Atlantik-Brücke will host the annual German-American Conference on May 11 in New York City. \nAs geopolitical competition intensifies and technology becomes a defining arena of global power\, the German-American partnership faces steep challenges that often overshadow unique opportunities. This year’s German-American conference brings together leaders from business\, government\, and academia to examine how the United States and Germany can navigate a shifting strategic landscape and account for citizens’ welfare in societies where the social contract appears to crack under the weight of industrial\, technological\, and financial competition. \nAgainst the backdrop of accelerating technological innovation\, supply chain reconfiguration\, and evolving regulatory frameworks\, our discussions will explore how transatlantic partners can align their approaches to artificial intelligence\, critical minerals\, digital governance\, and financial innovation. As the backbone of all modern digital infrastructure\, chips and semiconductors have become a strategic linchpin\, making their secure production and supply a critical priority. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the competitiveness of Western companies\, the vulnerabilities exposed by global dependencies\, and the prospects for deeper cooperation to secure both resilient technology ecosystems and societal adaptation— the great affordability question. \nBy convening a diverse group of experts and practitioners\, the American Council on Germany and Atlantik-Brücke aim to generate actionable insights on safeguarding economic vitality. In a world where economic and technological decisions carry far-reaching geopolitical implications\, strengthening transatlantic dialogue is not just prudent — it is essential.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acgusa.org%2F2026-german-american-conference%2F” css=”.vc_custom_1776439686679{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
