    WIPO Limmattal takes place on 9 November in the Umwelt Arena

    The Limmattal Business Panel(WIPO) will take place again on 9 November in the Umwelt Arena in Spreitenbach, according to the sponsoring association Wirtschaft Limmattal. According to a media release on LinkedIn, the motto of the business meeting is: “The future is moving – be part of it! By way of background, it is said that the future means everything that follows the present. And the past? This question is the basis for the journey into the future. Ticket orders and the programme have been online since Monday, 28 August.

    According to the media release, around 1000 participants from business, politics and trade take part in WIPO every year. The event was launched in 1999 by three patron associations: Industrie- und Handelsverein Dietikon(IHV), Wirtschaftskammer Schlieren(WKS) and the Vereinigung für Industrie, Dienstleistungen und Handel Spreitenbach(IDH). The first WIPO Limmattal took place in Dietikon in 2000.

    The WIPO is preceded by four input sessions. They are dedicated to the topics: Mobiliar – Cyber Risk Management for Companies. Then: Cybersecurity: the human factor as a cornerstone in digitalisation – How does Swisscom establish cybersecurity awareness among employees? Afterwards: Future Skills – How IKEA is making its employees fit for the future. And finally: Planzer & Stadt Dietikon – Gute Fahrt: Beweglichkeit im Denken und Handeln für eine urbane Gütermobilität der Zukunft.

    After the welcome by WIPO President Fredi Pahr at 4 p.m., there will be a talk by futurologist Georges T. Roos, founder of the privately financed future institute Roos Trends&Futures and the European Futurists Conference Lucerne. After a panel discussion and networking over an aperitif, the event will continue until 9 pm.

    WIPO Limmattal will not take place again until 2021

    The Organizing Committee (OC) of the Limmattal Economic Podium has decided to cancel the next event planned for November 2020, according to a media release. The reasons are the "uncertain development of the coronavirus pandemic, the lack of planning security and concern for the health of the participants". The decision was made together with the main sponsors AXA , UBS Switzerland AG , energie360 ° , maneth stiefel AG and the Umwelt Arena Schweiz .

    “We ran through all the scenarios. The decision was anything but easy for us, "OC President Fredi Pahr is quoted in the message. In it, WIPO also informs that the organizers had consulted with the sponsors and partners and that the majority of those questioned were in favor of rejection. “WIPO lives from networking – keeping your distance is difficult. We very much regret the cancellation, but the health of our participants has top priority, ”says Pahr.

    The next WIPO event will therefore take place in November 2021. The exact date should be set in the coming days. The program planned for 2020 and with it the topic of "Limitless" will remain topical in the coming year. “We hope that we can win Federal Councilor Guy Parmelin again for the keynote. The clarifications are in progress ”, informs the WIPO, which was founded and is being carried out by the three patronage associations IHV Industrie- und Handelsverein Dietikon , Schlieren Chamber of Commerce ( WKS ) and the Association for Industry, Services and Trade Spreitenbach ( IDH ).
