Technologische Veränderungen, gesellschaftlicher Wandel und die Zunahme globaler Unsicherheit erfordern aktive politische Gestaltung und neue Leadership.
Der Wiener Kongress com.sult 2019 beschäftigt sich mit zwei zentralen Gestaltungsaufgaben für Politik und Wirtschaft: der Zukunft der Europäischen Union nach dem Brexit und der erfolgreichen digitalen Transformation. Internationale Entscheidungsträger aus Wirtschaft und Politik sowie hochkarätige Wissenschafter erörtern, wie wir Europa sinnvoll weiterentwickeln und die Digitalisierung zu einer Erfolgsgeschichte für Standort und Menschen machen können.
Die Rückkehr der Macht- und Interessenpolitik auf internationaler Ebene erfordert neue Strategien für wirtschaftlichen und politischen Erfolg. Beim Wiener Kongress com.sult werden sie auf den Punkte gebracht.
