MITTELSTAND. PRAXIS.
Forum

How can we remain competetive in a rapidly changing world?

This is just one of many burning questions at the MITTELSTAND.PRAXIS. (SME.PRACTICE) forum for the manufacturing industry, which Heiko Irlbacher from ProMade Business Development & Operations has been organizing twice a year for SMEs in Aschaffenburg since April 2023.

People facing similar challenges share their approaches to solving them. Owners, managers, and specialists from the region work together to find answers to the burning questions of our time. The MITTELSTAND.PRAXIS. forum provides practical insights from people who are themselves at the heart of German industry.

"The German industry has a future if we have the courage to learn from each other and break new grounds."

The discussions after the presentations make the evening special. Intense discussions, the exchange of experiences on an equal basis, the discussion of specific challenges, the transfer of practical knowledge — all this characterizes the MITTELSTAND.PRAXIS. forum. Intense discussions, controversial debates, and genuine interest lead to contacts that last far beyond the event.
