Fokus Wirtschaft 2026 – Mut statt Krise: Was jetzt möglich ist

Seeing crises as opportunities rather than waiting them out—that’s what the second edition of “Fokus Wirtschaft” is all about,
the event series organized by the Südpfalz Junior Chamber.

The evening will be opened by Godo Röben, known as the mastermind behind Rügenwalder Mühle’s transformation from a meat-based company to a leader in the plant-based market. In his keynote address, he’ll show how companies can not only weather crises but also actively turn them to their advantage.

Following that, the “Südpfalz Roundtable” will discuss the future of the Südpfalz as a business hub—featuring:
•Godo Röben, former Co-CEO of Rügenwalder Mühle
•Barbara Roth, Wilhelmshof Winery
•Vincent Hammann, Managing Partner of the Hammann Group and Comprex
•Prof. Katharina Spraul, RPTU (Business Administration, esp. Sustainability Management)

Following the panel discussion, guests will have the opportunity to ask their own questions of the panelists during a Q&A session. The evening will conclude with a champagne reception featuring light refreshments—this informal setting for networking is an integral part of the event.

“Focus on Business” is aimed at anyone interested in the economic development of the Southern Palatinate—whether you’re an entrepreneur, a business owner, a young professional, or simply curious about exciting new ideas.

Doors open: 6:30 p.m.
