Complementary to the LHC exper- iments, Belle II is designed to explore the intensity frontier. Its target is to collect an integrated luminosity of 50 ab−1 by 2024, which is 50 times larger than the data sample recorded by the Belle experiment. The Belle II data will offer a unique possibility of searching for New Physics phenomena through precision study of rare and suppressed processes, as well as of further reveal- ing the nature of QCD in describing matter. The physics program of Belle II will be wide and just a selection of topics are highlighted in this paper: semileptonic and leptonic B decays, elec- troweak penguins decays, time-dependent CP-violating decays, studies of mixing and rare decays in the charm sector, lepton flavour violation in τ decays, opportunities in bottomonium physics and searches for the dark sector. 000000647 8560_ $$felisa.guido@desy.de 000000647 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/647/files/BELLE2-CONF-PROC-2017-027.pdf 000000647 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/647/files/BELLE2-CONF-PROC-2017-027.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon 000000647 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/647/files/BELLE2-CONF-PROC-2017-027.gif?subformat=icon-700$$xicon-700
