What contribution does the economy make to the well-being of future generations? Is our definition of growth still up to date? And what can entrepreneurs do now to operate in a value-oriented way that takes account of the economy, ecology and social responsibility? These are the questions that the members of the Enkelfähig movement are asking themselves.
Enkelfähig – a movement for forward-thinking companies
"Enkelfähig offers a lively network of like-minded entrepreneurs who, with courage and optimism, together awaken potential and identify areas of growth for an economy that also serves future generations," says Haniel CEO Thomas Schmidt. "Everyone who wants to position their company for continuous progress in a future worth living is welcome to join." A wide variety of players in the German business community are rallying behind the forward-thinking movement. In addition to Haniel, current supporters include communications service provider Publicis Groupe, start-up incubator Anthropia, IT services company Arineo, family business Reckhaus, auditing firm PwC and HR consultancy Board Partners.
Highlight meeting for entrepreneurship in the 21st century
At the Enkelfähig Summit, entrepreneurs, investors and start-up founders will have the opportunity to discuss potentials and impulses for a new economy in the sense of Enkelfähig. Ideas from practice will be given by top-class speakers such as Dr. Eckhart von Hirschhausen (doctor and business journalist), Julia Ledermann (Chairman of the Advisory Board of edding AG), Anders Indset (author and founder of Njordis), Moritz Ritter (Managing Director of R² Holding GmbH & Co KG) and Maja Göpel (transformation researcher) in various formats such as keynotes, solution talks and experience talks. "The focus at Enkelfähig is on community and dialogue," explains Thomas Schmidt. "We create a safe space in which decision-makers in business inspire and empower each other and thus together redefine entrepreneurship for the 21st century."
