Challenges for founders and the economic landscape

Despite the positive reviews of stable companies, the regional economy faces challenges. In recent years, interest in starting a business has changed significantly in various sectors. A report from the DIHK showed that interest in new start-ups in industry, trade and the service sector decreased in 2021. This development was significantly influenced by the corona pandemic and the associated restrictions. Overall, there were 10 percent fewer founders who wanted to find out more about starting a business from the IHK, which represents a historic low in the IHK statistics dihk.de reported.

It is clear that the entrepreneurs honored yesterday were recognized not only for their resilience, but also for their abilities as drivers of innovation in a changing economic landscape. After the official ceremony, those present had the opportunity to exchange ideas and celebrate their networking successes at the subsequent get-together.
