With this year's Finance Forum for SMEs, the German Association of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (BVMW) wants to show how companies can position themselves financially for the future - through clever planning, forward-looking action and the right combination of succession management and liquidity management.
On September 1 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Design Offices (Erftstraße 15-17, 50672 Cologne), you can expect valuable keynote speeches and impulse contributions on the topics of future management, investment pressure, restructuring and liquidity planning - practical, understandable and with direct added value for the reality of your company. Because the future cannot be left to chance: Those who are well positioned today will ensure innovative strength, growth and entrepreneurial capacity for action tomorrow.
With a keynote speech from Sparkasse KölnBonn as an exclusive partner, a second keynote speech from the German Economic Institute and further contributions from experts from practice, consulting and the world of finance, you will receive concrete approaches and perspectives on how to master key financial challenges with confidence. Following the content part, the BVMW cordially invites you to network over snacks and drinks.
