Channel: Aspen Institute Germany
Date: 2021-11-11

As part of its Laboratories of Democracy Initiative, our 2020/21 cohort met in Stuttgart from October 13 to 16, 2021, to discuss #transatlantic relations, #digitalization, and #tech policy. We used the opportunity to interview the involved state legislators from the United States and Germany 🇺🇸🇩🇪. Why are they involved in transatlantic relations? Why are they participating in this Aspen program? Why is the topic of digitalization important to them and their work? What have they learned from this exchange and their visit to Baden-Württemberg?

🗣️ Listen to an conversation between Representative Tom Demmer, Minority Leader in Illinois' House of Representatives, and our Executive Director Stormy-Annika Mildner.
