This was the first Winemeetsbusiness show at the Porsche Center Augsburg

People & Dreams, that is the motto of the first edition of Winemeetsbusiness. But what exactly does that mean? “‘People’ represent our personality and the relationships that shape us, ‘Dreams’ represent visions and hopes. Together they create a connection that motivates us and creates a foundation of opportunity,” explains Duygu Bayramoglu, founder of Into X and Winemeetsbusiness, about the motto of the evening.

Mayor Eva Weber held Grußwort

The idea of ​​Winmeetsbusiness came in 2018 over a glass of wine “The fact that there are people who have dreams and people who believe in dreams, that’s how it is today,” Duygu greets the guests. A city like Augsburg needs events like this that bring together people from the area who may not even know each other,” says Augsburg mayor Eva Weber. “The city thrives on people who do things like that. “You are here tonight. As mayor you can achieve a lot, but alone you are weak,” emphasizes Mayor Weber

“Winemeets business is not only about meeting new people and having a good evening, but also about the important topics of the moment. As a humanitarian founder, I travel to troubled areas around the world and see a lot of suffering every day. I know how important it is to bring together the decision makers of today and tomorrow. Because only they can change something,” says Serkan Eren, CEO and Chairman of STELP eV

Wine meets business and diversity

The main topic of the evening was the shortage of skilled workers, which affects us all. “The young generation in particular has a kind of ‘cow detector’ that recognizes what is true – and what is not true,” says Duygu social recruiting is important here, as is using technology and developing overall HR strategies . . . If you invest in more training etc., you will succeed: “You must tell your story and that of your employees – in the end only this story will be able to inspire new employees.”

An important part of winemeetsbusiness DNA is diversity. Value is placed on diversity in programming as well as in speaker selection and ticket allocation. For tickets, parties had to apply using a form and were selected based on certain criteria and values. “We want to create a strong and innovative network for passionate entrepreneurs and managers who want to make a difference – regionally and nationally. We help put Augsburg on the digital map. Because we have a lot to offer here,” explains Duygu.
