Event Details
Most people agree that climate change is a dynamic component of ongoing globalization and that it needs to be addressed in a multi-layered, integrated way. Broken down into specific elements, immediate need for reforms and restructuring are typically categorized into three major areas - social, industrial, and political.
This series of talks, “Restructuring for Success,” includes topics and case studies touching all three categories. Industry case studies are planned from leaders in the automotive, banking, insurance and IT industry, as well as the “Mittelstand." Social case studies will be provided by leaders of the German academic and cultural communities, and political case studies will be introduced by political leaders.
The exclusive keynote this year by Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard will provide hands-on insights into challenges affecting Germany´s flagship global industry: automotive.
The event language will be English. The speech will be followed by a discussion among all participants.
