What our guests say

Opinions and experiences of our events.

Translating the tradition of the social market economy into the contexts of the present time and making it practically usable for today’s political-economic challenges could be an important impulse for renewal for both economic policy and for democracy, which is contested. – Prof. Dr. Stefan Kolev, Scientific Director, Ludwig Erhard Forum for Economics and Society The DNA of startups holds the key to Europe’s ability to adapt quickly, to innovate, and to be a global leader in sustainable technologies. - Verena Pausder, entrepreneur and CEO of the Startup Association
 The European Economic Conference provides us with a unique opportunity to discuss the important current questions facing the economy across industry and sector boundaries. - Michael Kotzbauer, Member of the Board of Management, Commerzbank AG European thinking and action are particularly important in these times, so that we can jointly protect and defend our peace, freedom, and humanity. The F.A.Z. conference provides a valuable impulse for this. - Participants

GENDER NOTE
 We strive to publish texts that are easy to read and still reflect all genders in our texts. This can be achieved by using the generic masculine, by using both forms ("entrepreneurs" or "entrepreneurs") or by using neutral formulations ("students"). In all forms, all gender groups are of course always meant - without any restrictions. We refrain from using special linguistic forms and symbols.
