Entrepreneurial sustainability: People as bridge builders
öbu celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2019. The world is undergoing deep and rapid change. The rifts are getting deeper in a world that is also characterized by uncertainties. Cynical and condemning voices are booming in times of these rifts. Negative images of the future and paralysis, however, do not help us to shape the urgently needed entrepreneurial future in Switzerland.
The Forum ö 2019 offers space, impulses and reflections on entrepreneurial and sustainable action. It brings together a community of people to highlight opportunities for people and companies - beyond rifts and fears.
It is high time to take action and courageously build bridges. Between people. Between companies. And beyond. Let's do it!
