At the same time, digitisation provides an opportunity to decouple resource consumption and economic development. Digitisation is not an end in itself – it must be to the advantage of society. The Strategy unites the activities of seven Hessian Ministries which are pushing digitisation forward within their particular areas of competence. (digitalstrategie-hessen.de)
