Donnerstag, 08.10.2020 – German-Australian Business Day 2020

Topic: Anti-Fragile – Leapfrogging in Times of Crisis and Beyond

3:00pm in Brisbane – 4pm in Sydney – 7:00am in Germany (Munich) – a German Week FIRST hybrid event (please see below for recording).

The event was dedicated to gaining a better understanding of success factors behind tremendous improvements in corporate performance we have seen in response to COVID-19. Organisations across various industries have excelled – they accelerated, scaled, converted to an extent never seen before. Such leapfrogging has become the new normal and many companies emerged even stronger, anti-fragile. These and other key topics were covered during the event. We explored pathways between Queensland–based and German corporations ranging from established to emerging organisations. Please find information on speakers and sponsors further below.
