Entrepreneur Day with Joe Kaeser and Monisha Kaltenborn

In uncertain and unstable times, leaders are needed who can provide orientation and stability. The current challenges facing politics, business and society require trustworthy leaders and a modern corporate culture. The Entrepreneurs' Day on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in the Spoerry Halle Vaduz is therefore entitled "Leading in times of instability" and will examine this highly topical subject from different angles. The event is already being held for the 17th time. Guests can expect exciting presentations, informative panel discussions and attractive networking opportunities.

Massive changes require leadership

After the welcome address by Liechtenstein's Deputy Head of Government and Minister of Economic Affairs Sabine Monauni, top manager Joe Kaeser explains why leadership is particularly important in times of crisis. He is convinced that society is facing massive disruptive changes and that leaders must respond to them with a clear stance and honest communication. Kaeser is one of the highest-profile representatives of German business and the best-known manager in Europe. He is Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of Siemens Energy and Daimler Truck and has more than 40 years of professional experience in the Siemens Group.

Local entrepreneurial personalities

Afterwards, local heroes Markus Kaiser and Katharina Lehmann will show how they manage their companies in difficult times and explain why family-run companies plan more long-term than, for example, listed companies. Kaiser is CEO and majority owner of Kaiser AG in Schaanwald with 600 employees. The company's main products are vehicles for sewer cleaning and industrial waste disposal as well as mobile walking excavators. Lehmann is CEO and owner of the Lehmann Group in Gossau SG, a general contractor as well as market leader in Switzerland for timber construction, with around 400 employees. Kaiser and Lehmann are also members of the jury for the "Entrepreneur Of The Year" award in Liechtenstein, which will be presented to an entrepreneur for the sixth time in the fall of 2022.

Economic turning point

After the refreshment break, economist Peter Bofinger will take the stage. The German economist will explain to the audience why the Corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine also represent an economic turning point. According to Bofinger, companies must prepare for the fact that economic fundamentals will fundamentally change and have direct consequences on elements such as inflation, monetary policy or supply chains.
