• Daniel Kastl, Co-Founder of the startup GEOREPUBLIC with offices in Munich and Kobe, offering geolocation and logistics services as well as open-government applications.

The presentation will be held in English, with an optional interpreter around for questions in Japanese. After the talks there will be a German style buffet reception with 2 hours of networking time.
