Security of supply ... The stuff that dreams are made of?
This is the theme of the KMU SWISS Symposium, which will be held in Brugg on September 7, 2023. Successful personalities from various fields and industries will speak about their experiences in a practical and timely manner. They will shed light on and discuss the topic from various perspectives on keywords such as industry, trade, information technology, innovation, communication, etc.
The KMU SWISS Symposium will take place on Thursday, September 7, 2023 in the CAMPUSSAAL Kultur+Kongresse at Bahnhofstrasse 6 in Brugg-Windisch. Together with illustrious personalities from business and politics, 300 to 500 participants are expected. "In addition to the informal atmosphere, the participants will appreciate the practical relevance of the presentations," says Armin Baumann, initiator of KMU SWISS. The symposium will also enable a number of exhibitors to present themselves during the networking breaks.
Focus on security of supply
The event addresses security of supply in the broadest sense, after the COVID years revealed problems in this regard. Aftershocks and bottlenecks are still noticeable. Nevertheless, a large majority is not aware of this. Empty warehouses, transportation failures, shortages of necessities such as energy, water, food, raw materials, etc. cripple an economy and can lead to massive conflicts. Whoever is in charge will probably win, unfortunately... Where will we be as Switzerland or Europe in the future? Should prosperity have caught up with us?
Acting instead of reacting - what concerns everyone, only everyone can solve
To date, every advanced civilization has ultimately failed because of its prosperity. Mahatma Gandhi once said: "The earth has enough for everyone's needs, but not for everyone's greed. He hit the nail on the head with this. For everyone himself must behave accordingly in order to conserve resources. Politicians believe that they can get a grip on this with laws and regulations and thus achieve the opposite: the economy alone must bear the consequences with losses in competitiveness, which ultimately leads to the erosion of the middle class, which is responsible for 97% of the Swiss value added working in SMEs as self-employed and employees. This in turn causes tensions and conflicts, which provoke riots already by small incidents. Ergo, what concerns everyone can only be solved together, so the message of the event. Furthermore, tolerance towards one's fellow human beings should once again come to the fore.
