Bits & Pretzels #13 A conversation with Bavaria's Nerd-in-Chief Judith Gerlach

Judith Gerlach, Bavaria's first State Minister for Digital Affairs, talks about what needs to be done politically to push for more entrepreneurship and innovation in Germany, including whether we need to establish a Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs. Gerlach also shares her experience of building a ministry from the ground up and the pains and pleasures of life in politics, including her fight against digital dead zones in rural Bavaria. Because of these special circumstances, we’re having our conversation in German. Our non-German speaking listeners will find a detailed English summary in our show notes … and please join us again next week!
