Change Dinner and Lunch

The "FUTURE NEEDS DIVERSITY" initiative aims to encourage companies to take a closer look at diversity in companies. Companies, science and business development come together to discuss challenges, opportunities and visions for the future - and to implement them.

This classic network meeting kicked off on 09.03.2023 with the "Change Dinner" - a network meeting with a special feature: each manager was accompanied by a junior manager of a different gender.

The evening was accompanied by two keynote speeches. The 40 or so participants had the opportunity to discuss the topics of diversity and inclusion in the company and to network in a relaxed atmosphere.

The composition of the tables was specifically designed to break down inhibitions and hierarchies and highlight different perspectives. PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH was a partner of the event.

"The Change Dinner shows what we want: to work together with companies to further develop the business location and address social issues. Successful companies are also diversifying at management level. And that doesn't happen on its own, it requires awareness and a strategy. We want to support them in this."

Ulf-Birger Franz, Head of Economic Affairs

The second event took place on 07.02.2024 in the form of a Change Lunch. This time, the focus was on the diversity dimension "Ethnic origin & nationality".

In a cosy atmosphere and well catered for by Küfa- Küche für alle,companiescametogether to talk, exchange experiences and challenges and report on how the integration of employees from different backgrounds can be organized and anchored in the corporate culture.

The exchange was extended by a keynote speech from the WelcomeCenter on theintegration of foreign workers and the Skilled Immigration Act.
