As managing director of <strong>NExT e.V.<\/strong>, a network dedicated to the digital transformation of public administration, she focuses on how the state and public administration can become more modern, efficient and digital. In this context, she views digitalisation not merely as a technological project, but as a key prerequisite for a sustainable society and stable democratic structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, at the <strong>Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom<\/strong>, she was responsible for issues relating to international digital policy, digitalisation and innovation. Furthermore, she has been actively involved in the debate on internet policy for many years, contributing her expertise to committees, discussions and conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a speaker, Ann Cathrin Riedel brings together political, social and technological perspectives. She demonstrates why digital transformation is, above all, a question of structures, responsibility and the political will to shape the future \u2013 and what companies and institutions can learn from this for their own future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-an-interview-with-ann-cathrin-riedel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An interview with Ann Cathrin Riedel<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann Cathrin Riedel is a driving force behind the digital future.
