Süddeutsche Zeitung

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to come to Berlin once again this year. This time the Economic Summit of Süddeutsche Zeitung is something special: We would like to celebrate an anniversary with you, as the Economic Summit is being held for the 10th time in 2016! In 2007, we started to bring together leading representatives of business, politics and society in order to dis-cuss current issues we are all concerned with and to learn from one another. This year, too, we will convene at the Hotel Adlon, in the immediate proximity of the Brandenburg Gate. It would be great if you were able to join us from 17th to 19th November 2016. As the Editor-in-Chief of Süd-deutsche Zeitung, I would be very happy indeed if you were able to make it – for one day or also for the whole three days, just as your schedule permits. You know that there are more subjects to discuss then ever this year. The world has become insecure, what once used to be tranquil home has suddenly become a crime scene. Recently, the terror has also arrived in Germany, the issue of migration is still in the focus of attention and what is more, the European Union has to face up to its greatest challenge yet: the Brexit will change the economy of Europe fundamentally. The woman playing a pivotal role in all of this turbulence will be a guest of our congress: at the festive “Night of the European Economy” at the Museum for Com-munication. Chancellor Angela Merkel will hold a speech and after that I will quiz her about God, the world, politics and her life. And there will be other top politicians from home and abroad at the

Economic Summit, as well as the bosses of the largest corporations, successful medium-sized entrepreneurs and ingenious start-up founders. The subject of digitisation will also feature largely on the agenda. Companies from Silicon Valley are far ahead here. Some observers expect a new age determined by the Americans (and the Chinese). However, it surely will not be as one-dimension-al, as that. Those who envisage a Sino-American world are maybe overlooking the opportunities and possibilities also opening up for Europe – and especially for Germany, the land of inventors and engineers. This is what we will also talk about in Berlin in November. We will remain true to the concept of our Economic Summit also in the tenth year: We do not want to stage a large-scale event but rather offer a forum for discussion, reflection and an exchange. You will have the opportunity to enter into a discussion with the speakers after the panels and during the breaks. On the second congress day, we kick off with parallel working breakfasts on special subjects. Two festive din-ners, accompanied by a programme, which you may attend with guest, will round off our offer. As a daily newspaper, we are used to reacting to new topics and events right to the last moment, how-ever, the structure of the programme is now set. Please form your own picture on then following pages and decide whether you want to join in. I believe it will be well worth your time.

See you in November, yours sincerely

Decision-making in uncertain times.

SZ Economic Summit 2016

The Economic Summit of Süddeutsche Zeitung this year embraces the motto of Decision-making in uncertain times. We will discuss the current global challenges, digitisation and disruption as well as innovation and the shifts in the global economy – and what this means for the leadership of companies.

Three compact days in the Capital: Discuss what moves the economy

Three compact days in SZ Economic Summit 2016

At the Economic Summit of Süddeutsche Zeitung, panel discussions are just as important as fringe discussions – during the breaks, over lunch and at the evening events.

Have a discussion with the other conference participants and benefit directly from their experience, maintain your networks and establish new contacts. The congress brings together people from the most varied walks of life, representatives of large corporations just as successful family entrepreneurs and rising founders of start-ups.

More than a congress:Enjoy theexclusive evenings at special locations

SZ Economic Summit 2016

If you are also interested in questions beyond the economy, then the Economic Summit of Süddeutsche Zeitung is the place to be. Just as the Süddeutsche Zeitung daily offers you more than the business pages, our congress offers more than only debates on economic issues in the evening events.

1 MARC BEISE, born in 1959 in Mainz, has been with Süddeutsche Zeitung since 1999, initially as deputy head of business affairs. In 2007, he was appointed head of the depart-ment, which he leads jointly with Ulrich Schäfer. He acquired his journalistic skills at Offenbach-Post, where he ultimately held the position of head of the politics, business and news de-partment. Later he wrote for the Handelsblatt for four years, last as a head of department of economic affairs. He studied law and econo-mics in Frankfurt, Lausanne and Tübingen and wrote his PhD on the World Trade Organisation. He has authored five books on economics, the last of which is “Deutschland digital: Unsere Antwort auf das Silicon Valley” (“Germany digi-tal – our answer to Silicon Valley”) (2016).

2 KURT KISTER, born in 1957 in Dachau, has been with Süddeutsche Zeitung for more than three decades, starting out as a member of the editorial team in Dachau. After attending the Deutsche Journalistenschule (German Journa-lists College), he reported on security and de-fence in home affairs and subsequently headed up the department of “Seite Drei” (Page Three), served as a correspondent in Washington and led the foreign policy department. From 1998, he was in charge of the main German Office, initially in Bonn and later in Berlin. In 2005, he was appointed deputy editor-in-chief; in 2011 editor-in-chief.

3 WOLFGANG KRACH, born in 1963 in Re-gensburg, started his career in journalism as a trainee at “Donaukurier” in Ingolstadt. After having studied philosophy at the Mu-nich School for Philosophy, he assumed the position of a correspondent on Bavarian af-fairs for the “Donaukurier” in Munich. In 1993, he was appointed political reporter at “Stern”; in 1997 he transferred to SPIEGEL. Here, he acted as deputy head of the Berlin office and took over as head of the home af-fairs department at the SPIEGEL headquar-ters in Hamburg. Subsequently, he transfer-red to SZ in Munich as the head of the news desk in 2003. He was appointed deputy editor-in-chief in 2007.

1 ANGELA MERKEL She has been leading Germany since 2005: initially as Chancellor of a big coalition, then as Chancellor of a rather small coalition with the liberal Free Democratic Party; since 2013 she has regained leadership of a big coalition. Once a domestic reformer, she has be-come the most important head of government in Europe: respected by many all over the world, also under attack by many in terms of the Euro and refugee crisis. Claus Hulverscheidt

2 ADRIAN HASLER Before being appointed Prime Minister of Liechtenstein in 2013, he served as chief of the national police of Liechtenstein for a decade; even though the father of two children, born in 1963, is really a business economist. Since taking on government affairs, his most important task has been to liberate the principality with a mere 36,000 inhabitants from the reputation of being a dodgy tax haven. As it so happens, the politician with a pleasantly reserved air is also the Minister for Finance. Uwe Ritzer

3 MANUEL VALLS Manuel Valls the French Prime Minister started out in the year 2014 as a Social Democratic reformer and is now finding himself the top fighter against terrorism. The Cat-alan, who was born in Barcelona in 1962, is still pursuing an – albeit cautious – liberalisation of the French economy. The son of the painter Xavier Valls and a Swiss mother grew up with four lan-guages, speaking Spanish, Catalan, Italian and French, he became a Frenchman in 1982. Leo Klimm

4 HERMANN GRöHE The Minister of Health start-ed out as a newbie in his field of work. Meanwhile, he has got a substantial number of laws passed. He is respected by representatives of health insuranc-es, the pharmaceutical industry, doctors and phar-macists – not least because he knows how to steer clear of conflicts based on his astute and balanced character. Mockers sometimes describe Gröhe as a “walking Protestant Church congress”. Guido Bohsem

5 GüNTHER OETTINGER EU Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society since 2014, prior to this Oettinger was the Brussels-based author-ity’s energy representative. Born in Stuttgart in 1953 he studied jurisprudence and economics at the University of Tübingen. From 2005 to 2010 the CDU politician served as Minister President in his native Baden-Württemberg before transferring to the European capital.

Alexander Mühlauer

6 WOLFGANG SCHÄUBLE He headed the Chan-cellery and was Federal Minister for the Interior, was Chairman of the CDU and chief negotiator for the Unification Treaty with the GDR. He could have been Chancellor, even Federal President, but it wasn’t to be. Then, after four decades in the Feder-al Parliament – longer than anyone else – Angela Merkel appointed him Finance Minister. Since then he has been a passionate defender of the Euro.

13 HANS-CHRISTIAN BOOS After studying com-puter science at the ETH Zurich and the TH Darm-stadt, he left his first job at the Dresdner Bank to found the company Arago in 1995 with a number of associates. The first product was a software for online banking. Today, the company’s main focus is on automation and artificial intelligence. The goal: Intelligent machines for easing the human workload. Helmut Martin-Jung. Helmut Martin-Jung

14 CHARLES-EDOUARD BOUéE Er ist eine Art Weltbürger, ständig unterwegs zwischen Europa, Amerika und Asien. Der Franzose führt seit 2014 als Vorstandsvorsitzender Roland Berger. Er studierte in Paris und an der amerikanischen Harvard Univer-sity. Seine Karriere begann er als Investmentban-ker, danach wechselte er ins Metier der Unterneh-mensberater, zunächst bei Booz Allen & Hamilton, später bei AT Kearney, seit 2001 bei Roland Berger. Die Firma war zuletzt in der Krise, diese sei aber, so Bouée, nun überwunden. Caspar Busse

15 SIR TIM CLARK A member of the Emirates’ founding team, he is one of the most powerful men in the airline industry. His words carry weight, af-ter all, since becoming acting head of Emirates in 2003 he has ordered over 142 Airbus A380s, and is also one of Boeing’s most important customers. His airline has even unsettled Lufthansa to the ex-tent that they have advocated removing Emirates’ air traffic rights. Jens Flottau

16 PHILIPP DEPIEREUx Born in 1977, he studied international business administration in Germany, France and the USA. After he founded his first own consultancy firm Pepato and restructured the film manufacturer alesco successfully. Since 2010, he has been founder and managing director of etven-ture, a cradle for start-ups and a digital consultan-cy; furthermore, he develops digital business mo-dels both for large and medium-sized companies as well as for start-ups Helmut Martin-Jung

17 THORSTEN DIRKS For almost two decades his employer’s name was E-Plus. For seven years, he was the top man at the mobile phone provider. He established a range of new brands, including Simyo and Base during his time there. It almost went without saying that the graduate engineer then became head of the new telecommunications provider after the merger with Telefónica Deutsch-land: the new number one in mobile phone con-nections, ahead of both Telekom and Vodafone.

Ulrich Schäfer

18 THOMAS EBELING Most recently, things have been going well for the CEO of Pro Sieben Sat 1, born in 1959: revenue and profit are on the rise, the corporation has become a member of the DAX stock index, digitisation is advancing. That was not always the case. When the former Pharma Ma-nager came to Munich in 2009, the ProSiebenSat1 share had hit rock bottom. But Ebeling rebuilt, sought out new strategies, going down unconven-tional paths at times, with success, however.

Caspar Busse

7 ANN-KRISTIN ACHLEITNER She knows how to deal with risks: The professor of economics has set her research emphasis on risk capital. She probably is the most distinctive member of a supervisory board in the country, too. The bust-ling scientist (born in 1966) is part of the supervi-sory committees of the German stock exchange, the reinsurance company MunichRe, the busi-ness group Metro and the gases company Linde.

Andrea Rexer

8 JOSEF ACKERMANN The Swiss was head of Deutsche Bank for ten years. Attacked by critics, who remember two things about him in particular: the victory sign in the Mannesmann case and a tar-get return of 25 percent. Others admired how he led the bank through the perils of the financial crisis. They attribute him to the same lineage as his prede-cessors Hermann-Josef Abs and Alfred Herrhausen. Harald Freiberger

9 JENS BAAS The head of Techniker Kranken-kasse stands for a new generation of managers in the health sector. Now it is increasingly the smart lateral entrants who take centre stage. Baas worked as a transplant specialist at the universi-ty hospitals in Heidelberg and Münster. After just three years in the job, he signed on with the busi-ness consultancy firm Boston Consulting, where he became partner. In 2011, he transferred to the Board of TK . Guido Bohsem

10 ROLAND BERGER born 1937 in Berlin, is one of the best known figures in the German business world. As a student, he started up a laundry in Mu-nich. He learned the ropes as a consultant in Milan and eventually became Germany’s leading light in this field. His eloquent manner and distinguished appearance make him a popular guest at parties and TV talk shows. Karl-Heinz Büschemann.

Karl-Heinz Büschemann

11 SASKIA BISKUP In 2009 the double doctor of medicine, bioinformatics specialist and excel-lent tennis player decided to take the expensive, high speed gene analysis out of the universities and put it into practice: She founded the company Cegat, which examines hundreds of genes in par-allel, enabling rapid, tailor-made therapies, for ex-ample for tumours. She now has a staff of 110 and has been awarded the EU Commission’s Women Innovators Prize for Women 2014. Max Hägler

12 ROLAND BOEKHOUT Rotterdam, New York, Warsaw, Mexico, Frankfurt – the graduate econo-mist (born in 1963) has moved around a lot as part of his career with ING. Since 2010, he has been head of ING Diba, the German subsidiary of the Dutch bank, one of Germany’s three largest retail banks with more than eight million customers. Bo-ekhut is also a member of the executive body of the Dutch parent company. Andrea Rexer

25 ChriStine hohmann-DennharDt She was State Minister of Justice in Hessen state and judge on the First Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany for twelve years. She never con-cealed her social-democratic views including her criticism of capitalism – nonetheless, Daimler Cor-poration got her on board subsequently as a mem-ber of the Management Board, and the first female one at that. Her task: to enforce law and decency.She is now making a clean sweep as a Member of the Board there. Max Hägler

26 Dirk hörig has been active in the online trade for more than 15 years now, working for Puma, Neckermann and Red Bull, for instance. Already in 2001, still a student, he set up his first company for the development of online shops. In 2006, he then founded commercetools together with a colleague of his, which is part of the retail group Rewe today. With cloud-based flexible so-lutions, commercetools aims at revolutionising the Internet trade and at replacing the classic software. Ulrich Schäfer

27 timotheuS höttgeS After arranging the merger of Viag and Veba to become Eon in 2000, there was a top position waiting for the manager at the new power company with his name on it. No-theless he moved on to the mobile phone division of the Telekom – and has been on the up and up steadily ever since. He rose right up to Chief Execu-tive. In order to witness how passionately the man can fight for his cause, you should steer the conver-sation to the power of US technology companies. Varinia Bernau

28 geralD hüther Basically, he is interested in the brain. The neuro-biologist wants to find out how psychotropic drugs function and how early experiences impact the development of the brain, how fear and stress work. “We need communities whose members invite, encourage and inspire one another to reach beyond oneself,” he says. This is exactly what he does at the Academy for the Deve-lopment of Potential that he has set up.

Elisabeth Dostert

29 PhiliPP JuStuS His job is to explain to busi-nesses which terms people type into search en-gines – and how to insert adverts around them. He is responsible for the Google Internet company’s business in the German-speaking world – and that is based above all on advertising. He joined Google in June 2013 from the online marketing company Zanox, having previously worked for the online marketplace eBay for ten years. Varinia Bernau

30 Joe kaeSer CEO of Siemens since 2013, the manager, who grew up in the Bavarian Forest as Josef Käser, joined the Munich-based company in 1980, where his career soon took off. He was ap-pointed Chief Financial Officer in 2006, thus beco-ming the most powerful man behind the scenes. As CEO Peter Löscher unexpectedly fell, Kaeser became his successor. Now he is looking for a new course for Siemens and has set his sights on digiti-sation. Caspar Busse

20 Stefan franzke Born in 1970, he looks af-ter the business location of Berlin as management spokesman of Berlin Partner. He studied mecha-nical engineering in Hanover, worked as the Ma-naging Director at the Institute for Integrated Pro-duction. As the head of the Innovation Centre of Lower Saxony , he advised international investors and conducted marketing for his federal state. In 2014, he switched to Berlin. Helmut Martin-Jung

21 markuS gabriel A book entitled “Why the world does not exist” is a bold statement. The work of the philosopher, born in 1980, has found its mark. He rejects the existence of a world in which everything is connected to everything else; instead there were many different worlds and segments of realities that existed parallel to each other. Seven years ago, Gabriel was appointed to the University of Bonn, as the youngest professor of philosophy in Germany. He has long since become one of the most important German philosophers of our time. Jan Willmroth

22 felix haaS He worked with BMW in Palo Alto in Silicon Valley and co-developed several patents there. In Germany, he founded several successful start-ups, including ID Now, a Fintech company and Amiando, a platform for online tickets. Ad-ditionally, he is on hand with help and advice for start-ups: as Business Angel and as organiser of “Bits&Pretzels”. Ulrich Schäfer

23 robert hlawna What will the office work-place of tomorrow look like? This is what the Managing Director of Colliers International Cor-porate Solutions discusses with his clients eve-ry day. Colliers is one of the leading real estate agencies for commercial properties in Germany, helping in the choice of the right sites.

37 JöRG LAND is the equivalent of the Hanse-atic merchant in the digital era: attentive but not in-your-face; outspoken but never impudent: The business economist developed a therapy for tinnitus patients with two friends in Hamburg. Based on an algorithm, the app filters out speci-fic frequencies from musical pieces, which the damaged nerve processes in the auditory centre. Thus, while the patient is listening to the modi-fied tracks, the surrounding nerve cells are being trained and the intensity of the annoying sound is lowered considerably. Varinia Bernau

38 BILL MCDERMOTT From paperboy to mana-ger: The SAP CEO is living the American dream of rising to the top as radically as few others. The American has worked his way up steadily, up to the top of DAX corporation. He leads with passion, much more so than his German colleagues. Suc-cess proves him right and McDermott knows that his style hits home, especially in the States. He can picture himself as candidate for US president elections. Max Hägler

39 HERMANN J. MERKENS He started his care-er at Deutsche Bank in 1985. Subsequently joi-ning the Deutsche Interhotel Holding, he moved on to today’s Aareal Bank in 1999.

40 FREYA OEHLE Freya Oehle was offered the chance to work for a business consultancy firm after her studies. However, she would have had to be prepared to do unpleasant chores for the first three years, she was told. Oehle refused and founded Spottster with a school pal. It is an app, in which you enter the price you would like to pay for a pair of runners, for example. If a shop reduces the price to or even below this limit, you receive a message. So far, some 3,000 online shops are collaborating with Spottster. Varinia Bernau

41 FELIx REINSHAGEN He spent nine years as a consultant for McKinsey. Together with Robert Huitl, Sebastian Hilsenbeck and Georg Schroth, He set up NavVis in May 2013. Their mapping trolley looks like a sleek scooter and it compiles photo-realistic three-dimensional models of in-door spaces. With the help of such a model, buil-dings may be “viewed” virtually of factories may be planned. Elisabeth Dostert

42 ANDREAS RENSCHLER When the Daimler man switched to Volkswagen in 2015, he knew what to expect. He was to forge a new unit with a clout made up of the truck subsidiaries MAN, Scania and the internally owned Volkswagen commercial vehicle group. Which is not as easy as it sounds. The Swabian is not only merging very different trucks, he also has to reconcile Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Sweden. Renschler and the big intercultural truck experiment – one of the most intriguing current projects in the industry.

Entrepreneur-ship runs in her blood: at only 19 years of age, she founded her first start-up, an educational consultancy, which she sold after five years.

33 HARALD KRüGER What to do, when you know that cars will eventually be powered by big batteries rather than petrol? And what to do when you are earning your money now with big limou-sines that guzzle petrol and diesel? You adopt a two-pronged approach – and you finance the new car world through the old. When the manager of BMW presented his new strategy for the company, it was clear: there will be change for the carmaker. And this from scratch. Thomas Fromm

34 JANINA KUGEL As Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser’s most trusted board member, she was appointed the concern’s Labour Director in 2015.

49 SANDRA SIEBER When she enters the audi-torium CEOs, managing directors and company owners listen especially carefully: The Economics professor from the IESE, with sites in Barcelona, Munich, New York and Sao Paolo, is an expert for the theme that is currently the cause of great un-certainty amongst top management – digital busi-ness. In other words: Sieber conducts research, amongst other things, into how digitalisation is changing established business models. Marc Beise

50 VISHAL SIKKA He is a world traveller – even more than his favourite author Hermann Hesse. Born in India in 1967, he relocated to the USA to study computer science and work – until SAP brought him to Germany in 2002, where he quickly rose to become head programmer and CEO candi-date. However, he has now assumed this post at the Indian IT consultants Infosys where he heads a workforce of 190,000. Max Hägler

43 TILL REUTER When he took the controls at Kuka AG in 2009 the Augsburg-based robot manu-facturer was on the verge of bankruptcy.

46 DENIS SCHECK vearns his money with prin-ted matter; but most know him from the “telly”. After Marcel Reich-Ranicki’s death, the Swabian is Germany’s most important TV literary critic. Since 2004, he has been moderating the show “druckfrisch” (“fresh from the press”), in which he visits authors in unusual locations. His lively manner is controversial; critics accuse him of shamelessly putting himself in the limelight; fans praise his sharp-tongued “stand-up come-dy”. He is never a bore. Marc Beise

47 MATHIAS SCHILLING He is a rare bird in Sili-con Valley. As a German he founded a risk capital company in 1997 and since then has invested successfully in start-ups with his company even-tures (formally BV Capital).

55 HUBERTINE UNDERBERG-RUDER Only a se-lect few are entrusted with the recipe for the fa-mous digestif bitter. She is one of them, head of the board of directors. When her father passed on the legacy the doctor of microbiology asked for time to consider. Then she agreed. She also knows a few other recipes, for example, what makes a good manager: “A mixture of hand, heart and brain.” Elisabeth Dostert

56 NORBERT WALTER-BORJANS The Finance Mi-nister of North-Rhine Westphalia and Social Demo-crat is feared like almost no other German politician amongst banks both in Germany as well as abroad. Tax investigators from his federal state (NRW) have exposed many banks that had helped their clients to cheat the state. He loves to quote Bertolt Brecht: “First the grub, then the morals”. For this to change, he has had his authority purchase more CDs with account details of tax evaders than any other federal state in Germany. Klaus Ott

57 AxEL A. WEBER As Chairman of the Swiss bank UBS, he implemented the strategy which he was not allowed to realise at the Deutsche Bank. In Frankfurt he was once tipped to become Josef Ackermann’s successor, but then made the move to Zurich. He is an economist with convictions: In 2010, as President of the Federal Bank, he publicly criticised the European Central Bank’s controver-sial bond purchases – later resigning as a conse-quence.
