Rethinking Europe’s Economy You can’t make the economy of tomorrow work with the tools of the past. That’s why the European Forum Alpbach has launched a summit for next generation business leaders to get together in a solution-focused dialogue around much-needed changes for the European economic system.

“Alpbach in Motion makes a difference: Far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, one gains a deeper perspective of what push and pull factors move the economic world of tomorrow.” Georg Kopetz, Founder of TTTEch
“It’s all about the people. Alpbach in Motion is a magnet for creative young business thinkers from all over Europe.” Valerie Hackl, Member of the Board of Directors ÖBB
“Europe needs self-confident entrepreneurs now more than ever. Alpbach in Motion is the best address to explore new ideas and meet like-minded people while everybody brings very different stories to the group.” Ali Mahlodji, Founder of Whatchado
“Thank you for a great and inspiring company during the seminar, a lively exchange of ideas and open feedback (something you don’t really get in a working environment)” Maximilian Schubert, General Secretary OF ISPA
“It’s been a really fantastic experience and personally thought-provoking. I truly think no better topic could have come to me at that point of my life.” Lana Lauren, Founder of Visolutions
Alpbach in Motion connects committed people from various business backgrounds – from start-ups, small and mediumsized enterprises, social enterprises and the creative industries – to impart knowledge of structural problems and to spark new ideas. As an incubator for new leadership, Alpbach in Motion aims to encourage its young leaders to bring change and new ways of acting into their industries and networks.
Embedded in the European Forum Alpbach A combination of thematic input from internationally renowned speakers with managerial excellence is mixed with an innovative collaborative reflection concept. Alpbach in Motion dares to ask “the big questions” and the findings are woven into the programme of the Alpbach Economic Symposium. The group members bring new insights back into their fields of work and get exclusive offers for expert meetings throughout the year.
Walk the Talk – Change the Game The group is led by a mentor who guides through 35 varied and unanticipated hours, supported by facilitators for group-work sessions. The working process is enriched with inputs from experts offering personal and professional insights. The meaningful exchange between the experts and the group is a key ingredient for inspiration. These high-level professionals, alongside the mentor, dare listeners to enter discussions and/or rethink their current views. John Hagel III, Tomáš Sedlácek, Jeffrey Sachs, Charles Handy and Julia Hobsbawm, among others, have stimulated the minds of Alpbach in Motion so far. The intellectually challenging work of the group is interspersed by pleasant hikes through the beautiful landscape of the Alps. The walks help to decelerate and invite participants to strengthen connections between each other. They also serve for spontaneous breakouts into group-work sessions along the trail.
