Rethinking entrepreneurship
Beyond exit strategies and profit maximisation

Yes, we have the chance to create a better world. More lovingly, more sensitively than has ever been possible before. But we have to set it in motion ourselves, get into the ring ourselves, do it ourselves. Let's get active.
As self-confident entrepreneurs, acting frugally but with a view to the future. More modest when it comes to the consumption of resources. More ambitious when it comes to a successful life.
We are looking forward to speakers like: Prof. Harald Welzer, Cesy Leonard, Bodo Janssen and many more.
