Lecture description
High-profile panel featuring Claudius Bensberg, CFO (Kirchhoff Group) / Markus Ruf, CFO (Bertrandt) / Dr. Gregor M. Schmeken, CFO (KOSTAL), and Stefan Kraus, Member of Executive Management (NRW) at IKB
We aim to discuss the following key questions: 1. What do the new value creation strategies of global suppliers look like in light of geopolitical crises and resulting trade barriers? 2. Which elements of the value chain do not need to be relocated to regional markets as part of a local-for-local strategy? 3. In which regions is R&D increasingly following value creation? Does Germany still play a central role as an innovation hub? 4. How is this shift in value creation being financed given the ongoing burden of transformation and volatile demand?
