„Successful companies are innovative and have a strong leadership. Their business model is designed for the long term. With economic vigour they contribute to the development of society. Networking and cross-border cooperation can even foster and enhance this, yet require a good amount of mutual trust and understanding, respect and transparency among partners. Responsible leadership, demonstrated and brought to life by a clear CSR commitment, can make an important contribution.“ Karin Huber’s keynote presentation „Corporate Social Responsibility as a driver for Innovation“ was highly acclaimed among the more than 200 participants, speakers and moderators from 5 countries. They could experience the way easy, confidence-building measures quickly change the atmosphere in a room and what good a conversation can do to build relationships based on mutual understanding and trust.
Numerous highly interesting lectures and discussions contributed significantly to the success of the conference “potenti {ALPE-ADRIA} 15” on November, 24th, 2015 in Velden on Wörthersee.
