In this podcast episode we do something quite unusual. For the very first time a guest that was participating in one of our premium panels is invited right away for the next episode in an one-on-one interview.

Let’s welcome on this digital stage Jörg Brandscheid, as CTO at Polestar.

Also this time Jörg answered many interesting and challenging questions about:
