The Coface Congress is one of the leading events on risk management in Germany and has been held once a year in Mainz since 2007 with an average of 500 (presence) and up to 1,700 (digital) participants. It is organised by Coface in Germany and other well-known partners.

Are crises and wars the new normal? Is globalization at an end? What risks do companies expect in the coming years? Are we redefining growth or replacing it with other goals? What do we learn from the current crises and how will we prepare for the new age in society and the economy in the future? What consequences do companies have to draw now in order to survive sustainably on the market and overcome the current crises?

As usual, we will discuss all these questions with top-class experts, including war reporter and journalist Dr. Antonia Rados, futurologist Tristan Horx, energy expert of the BDI, Dr. Carsten Rolle.

We are looking forward to see you there !
