Borders (experienced) - Switzerland 4.0: Topic at the KMU Swiss Symposium
20 years ago, in August 2002, the idea of KMU Swiss was born. What started with one event in Kloten has developed into a vivid platform with two symposia, 15 StammTreff, 10 InsideTreff and 25 GolfAnlass with almost 3000 participants per year.

Switzerland 4.0: Is it reaching its limits?
After the first successful Event from 17 March 2022 (actually the 2021 edition), a second KMU Swiss Symposium will take place on Thursday, September 8, 2022 in the CAMPUSSAAL Kultur + Kongresse in Brugg, the "real" edition of this year. The event deals in the broadest sense with perceptions and realities in business, society and politics. Are we after as good as we think? Are we reaching our limits? Are we in a state of upheaval and are we creating change with probable limitations? Questions about questions, which should be partially answered at the symposium. This also with inclusion of the actualities of the energy crisis coming up to us, world-political tensions and availabilities of production goods. 250-300 participants are expected with illustrious personalities from economy and politics. "In addition to the familiar atmosphere, the participants appreciate the high practical relevance of the presentations," says Armin Baumann, initiator of KMU Swiss.
Supply bottlenecks, energy problems and global political situation in upheaval
Is Switzerland as well positioned as we think? What needs to be done so that we can master tomorrow? This in an environment of shortages of skilled workers, supply problems, expected energy bottlenecks and in the event of armed conflicts. Currently, problems and crises are being replaced by others, and yet things will continue. But how? The facts are and remain that changes happen continuously and crises always reveal weak points. These require farsightedness and decisiveness! Actors who act instead of react are in demand. But unfortunately, people in such situations too often sink into lethargy. People still try to solve problems instead of recognizing the causes and deriving something new from them.
Self-responsibility instead of egoism and narcissism are needed to master the future. What concerns everyone can only be solved by everyone. In addition, political mills work more slowly than economic ones and, unfortunately, sometimes against each other.
