Vienna New Year's reception: Entrepreneurs demand courage to change!

The New Year's reception of the Senate of the Business took place in the ballroom of the University of Vienna, which was under the motto "Metamorphosis".

Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the President of the Senate and former Foreign Minister, opened the event with an urgent appeal to the participants to regain Austria's competitiveness. Andreas Altmann, rector of the MCI Innsbruck, emphasized that real prosperity could not be achieved by holding the status quo, but by brave entrepreneurs who are ready to actively shape changes, such as medianet.at reported .

The event focused on interaction and discussion, which became particularly clear in a lively panel discussion.

This includes reducing bureaucracy as well as comprehensive pension and tax reforms. Boxing legend and entrepreneur Axel Schulz drew an impressive comparison between entrepreneurship and boxing by saying: "It's not just about striking, but keeping up to get up again and again, no matter how often you fall!" These inspiring thoughts aroused the willingness to take responsibility in the audience and actively work on the design of the future. The Senate of the economy underlined the central message: Metamorphosis is the key to coping with the challenges of our time.

The event served not only as a platform for ideas, but also as an initial spark for concrete measures to promote courageous and future -oriented entrepreneurial culture in Austria. Those present were asked not only to accept changes, but to actively hug them. "Don’t fight the change. Embrace it," was the call, which shaped the spirit of the evening. Thus, the New Year's reception was a thread for the upcoming challenges and a clear encouragement: the future belongs to those who are willing to enter into entrepreneurial risks and promote change.
