Welcome For many reasons this will be a particularly important Symposium for us, but also for you as our customers and guests who will join us in Stuttgart. We sincerely hope that the global business community at large will benefit from what will be announced, discussed and adopted as a result of this annual gathering.

It is up to us as business leaders to make it happen. So please enjoy the inspiring presentations, open discussions and the networking opportunities.
