The prosperity of a nation and thus of its children depends on strong medium-sized family businesses forming the economic backbone of the country by making an essential contribution to the well-being of the people in the country through their entrepreneurial success.

I truly believe that these very companies will have to face enormous global competition now, but especially in the coming decades, and stretch themselves enormously in order to at least maintain the prosperity they have achieved so far. This will only be possible through a digital innovation focus. I will do everything I can to help these companies with all my know-how and passion not only to master this challenge, but to emerge stronger from it.
