Sustainable growth – Global-local innovation

Back to Programme

Context
Sustainability is tha capacity to endure. Sustainable means durable, stable, long-term (For the courious: click here for a full definition of sustainability according to wikipedia).

Today's world is plagued with volatility, rapidly changing "realities". Not exactly what we understand under durable or stable...

How do corporations deal with an environment in which risk parameters are constantly shifting? Global presence means global exposure as well. How do businesses deal with it?

The leitmotiv in this conference is internationalisation, globalisation. But how can we expect SMEs to become global when threats and risks come inherently with this step?

One answer could be being global and local at the same time.

The presentation
Louise Goeser, in her presentation, will show how Siemens has managed to thrive in an ever changing environment globally ... by being local. The concept of Global Value Supply is central to Siemens and is, at the same time, the ticket to a global reality for the firm's supplierhood.


 * How is Siemens going about developing local supplier networks?
 * How are Governments supporting Siemens in this endeavour?
 * What is the opportunity for a small or medium enterprise?

See how big businesses are opening the door to smaller ones that meet high but promising standards.
