in a totally different field . That ’ s not realistic . But with the change that is coming in that way , it is also providing new opportunities and also giving room for additional , totally new industries , especially in the services area today .
“ Take Uber for example , how they are significantly transforming the network taxi industry . Of course , on one side , in a negative sense , you can see ‘ they ’ re stealing jobs from taxi drivers ’ but , when you look at the overall growth , Uber is not just taking out of the existing market , but it is actually generating a new market . That is also what we are seeing in different areas where we are only at the beginning of a transformational change .
“ It is up to the politicians and the economy and all of the people involved in the industries to make this change happen . Not everybody will be a winner , but I ’ m pretty sure there will be lots of opportunities in the future and people will jump on that . We cannot imagine yet what all the additional technologies will provide in terms of opportunities and also what they will transform to help us to become better , to grow more and to hopefully contribute to the overall GDP .”
