Prof. Dr. Wieland speaks at netforum 2025
At this year's netforum 2025 organized by dtm Datentechnik Moll GmbH in Bregenz, the future of digital infrastructure was at the center of attention.

Prof. Dr. Josef Wieland, Director of LEIZ, was part of the Thursday panel on the topic “Europe’s Role in the Global Technology Race.” In the discussion moderated by Dietmar Dahmen, Prof. Wieland highlighted the ethical and cultural foundations of European leadership models. Prof. Dr. Wieland's contributions made clear that sustainable technological competitiveness is only possible on the basis of value-oriented leadership and shared responsibility. Other panelists included Jan Moll (CEO dtm group), Johannes Jakob (CEO and Co-Founder of whistle law), Petra Jenner (SVP and General Manager EMEA at Splunk), Dr. Tilo Steiger (ETH Zurich), and Volker Kaufmann (VIRZ Association).
The netforum provided a platform for intensive exchange between business, science, and politics.
