Trends and tools for sustainable corporate development
Sustainability is not a trend, but the core of future-orientated corporate strategies. On 13 March 2025, we invite you to the IHK Frankfurt / Main to get to know the latest developments, tools and perspectives for sustainable corporate development together with experts.
You can look forward to a day full of interesting presentations, stimulating discussions and forward-looking impulses, in particular through an inspiring keynote speech by Andreas Huber.

We are very pleased that we were able to win Mr Andreas Huber (German CLUB OF ROME) for this key-note
He has been a passionate speaker on sustainable development and sustainability for 15 years. Having grown up in a small village in the Swabian Alb, he was inspired to rethink his potential career path as a commercial lawyer by a lecture given by future thinker Radermacher during his studies. He increasingly focussed on global trends and the associated ecological, cultural and social changes and, at the age of just 30, was appointed Managing Director of the German Club of Rome. In 2009, an appointment with Dennis Meadows encouraged him to give lectures himself. He met Meadows several times and learnt from him how to involve his audience and facilitate a change of perspective. You can look forward to an emotional journey about life, our points of view and the future, in which his twin girls have also played a major role since 2020.
VNU Anniversary
... it's the VNU's birthday! We are happy to invite you to our 25th jubilee and therefore an anniversary celebration (18:00 h until around 20.30 h) will take place at the IHK Frankfurt am Main after Andreas Huber's lecture. With a buffet and drinks, you will have the opportunity to continue the discussions in a relaxed atmosphere, expand your network, reminisce, look to the future and bring the day to a close together.
