First-class presentations, exciting insights, and over 300 renowned guests: The Economic Forum Salzburg has once again been a great success at the sold-out Salzburg Congress. For the third time, the prestigious event proved to be an indispensable platform for decision-makers and executives from business, society, and politics.
In addition to inspiring lectures and panel discussions under the motto "Creativity. Courage. Innovation. Competition.
