European Commission Introduces Web-Based Project Boosting Businesses Across Europe
In the face of volatile energy and gas prices, geopolitical supply chain and customs risks, and extensive sustainability and climate reporting obligations, German companies are demonstrating strategic resilience to ensure their long-term competitiveness and stability. This resilience is the focus of discussions at the 79th German Betriebswirtschaf-Tag, an annual event that brings together academics and professionals from various fields.
The event, scheduled for an upcoming date, will feature prominent figures such as Jens Holstein, a StartUp Investor at BioNTech SE until June 2025, Prof. Dr. Dirk Simons from the University of Mannheim, Prof. Jörg Rocholl, PhD, from ESMT Berlin, and many others.
Strategic resilience in the current context refers to a company's ability to anticipate, adapt to, and recover from external shocks by redesigning operational and financial structures. The most significant external factors currently impacting German companies' access to capital and costs include trade uncertainty and tariffs, regulatory pressures and climate policies, global supply chain shifts, and inflation and cost pressures.
In response, German companies are adapting their capital structure, liquidity reserves, and investment priorities. This includes increasing liquidity reserves, reshoring production, diversifying supplier bases, aligning investment priorities towards R&D and green technologies, and utilising government support programs.
Innovative financing structures that facilitate decarbonization, digitization, and reshoring will also be discussed at the event. These include green bonds and sustainable finance instruments, public-private partnerships and EU-backed funds, integrated supplier management platforms, and financing models that support digital transformation.
The 79th German Betriebswirtschaf-Tag aims to find solutions for shaping Europe sustainably, focusing on economic strength, sustainability, and technological leadership. The press contact for this event is Dr. Simone Bender from Schmalenbach-Gesellschaft für Betriebswirtschaft e.V.
