On the first day of the Asia-Pacific Weeks (APW) forum that was held last May in Berlin, I already sensed an excitement hovering in the air among the participants. Here’s why: the Asia-Pacific Weeks (APW) is an annual forum that invites leading experts from all over the world to Berlin for an exchange of ideas with economic regions having the highest growth-rates, therefore, providing notable influence to the global future. Specialists from the Asia-Pacific region and their European colleagues discuss vital topics ranging from economics and politics, research and science, culture and society, to transfer of knowledge. Since 1997, the Asia-Pacific Weeks Berlin (APW) has offered a unique European platform for an interdisciplinary, European-Asian dialogue with players from various fields, enabling debates on globally relevant subjects like smart cities, industry 4.0, digitalization, startups and innovations. Under the title “Asia-Europe Innovation Dialogue”, this year’s focus was on startups and their facilitative, innovative ecosystems.
