Vienna (OTS) – “We are currently experiencing challenging times, one crisis follows the next – from the Covid pandemic, to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, to inflation and labor shortages – the challenges for the economy, society and politics are enormous. Therefore, as part of the Salzburg Summit, top-class speakers and participants will discuss these challenges, give food for thought and offer possible solutions. Against this background, the decision-makers of our time are required to provide the right strategic answers to challenges that we have not had for a century,” said Christoph Neumayer, Secretary General of the Federation of Austrian Industries (IV).

We have succeeded in being able to offer numerous top-class speakers in an exciting mix of discussions and impulses for our guests,” says co-initiator Gabi Spiegelfeld about this year’s program.
