Part I - What drives the world?

Convergence is probably the word of the century. Convergence of technologies, convergence of media etc. But what's about the structures behind these trends? What about the convergence of organizations, branches -> or even research, business and governement on the level of a society?

I met Mr. Strese from VDI/VDE for an interview about smart textiles and
found exact that. A company that is positioned in the middle of these huge changes.

The intend was to talk about the German project that supports projects in the smart textiles field. But I found much more and learned a lot about changes within a country and how they are managed by the example of Hi-Tech-Promotion.

This will be the content of this interview-series the next weeks.
Stay tuned. It's about the real future.
