 Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2019 here in Budapest, Hungary. We're very pleased to be joined in the studio today by Dr Matthias Poli, who is the vice president for R&D Devices of Monitoring Network, testing for Odin Schwartz. Welcome to the studio. Thank you. Now, I wanted to start off by talking about this event's theme. It is innovating together, connectivity that matters. Why is connectivity so important and what is meaningful connectivity in your opinion? I think we heard during the open ceremony a very important thing. Half of the people are connected to the Internet, which is a great achievement. And we personally endeavor the Internet and have something in our life as a merit out of it. But we shall not forget that half of the people are not connected. And now focusing on meaningful connectivity means that from my perspective that we... I think it has to be a combined effort of government and business companies to bring Internet also to the remaining half of the people. And meaningful connectivity is that we just not provide 5G network there, but it has also to be a content which is good for the people, where they can afford the service and which is then locally... localize the content so that's really to the benefit of the people. I think here it requires smart technology, therefore also the business companies are, but it's also the government who has to set the right frameworks. What's a single innovation in technology policy or strategy do you think has got the greatest potential to drive digital transformation? If we talk about digital transformation, I would like to differentiate between digital transformation and digitization. Digitization has happened. If we talk, look for example, cloud computing is one keyword where people think this is digital transformation. The processes and technologies inside cloud completely have been digitized before. It's just now that they're in the cloud. So digital transformation is about acting and thinking. It changes totally workflows, work streams, value streams. It's for example more about loan services rather than investing goods. And IT becomes an actor. It's like autonomous driving and I think this is for me the key invention where we come into artificial intelligence. And IT will be an actor in artificial intelligence and this is the greatest invention which will drive digital transformation. And what's your role and role of Werder and Schwartz in the digital economy? Of course we will use the digital economy. We will sell our goods via the internet. But there's also, we have some cloud services already in place. But Werder and Schwartz will also focus on making this possible because if everything is digital we have to think about cybersecurity and make the world safe and sound. And this is some key areas where Werder and Schwartz is working on. And what are the main challenges in cybersecurity and data protection that you found? The main challenges is the enormous, tremendous impact, disaster, a worst case scenario has on all of us. If everything is connected and something goes wrong, oh holy shit. So we have to invest in cybersecurity. This is something which do not provide you the services now but it makes it safe and sound. This is very important. And finally let me ask you, you're no stranger to ITU events. You have been here a number of years, I know, Werder and Schwartz has been supporting this event very strongly. I just wanted to ask you, what's the value of attending and participating in events such as this? Of course we would like to exhibit or to show our products which are fit to the themes. But on the other hand it's all about networking. I think digital transformation is one thing where it's a new trend which changes our society and I think maybe there will be a next one. It's good for this kind of event to meet people and talk about because we as a company have to adapt to the future technology and that's its exhibition and networking. Well, I wanted to thank you very much for joining us in the studio and for joining us here at ITU Silicon World and hopefully we will catch up with you again soon. Dr. Matthias Parley, thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
