Alongside creativity, entrepreneurship is an essential that underlies everything we do at Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. Reason enough to dedicate an entire conference to this essential. The Leading Entrepreneurship Conference took place last week in Amsterdam with 300 participants from all around the world. It was a great, inspiring event during which I also had the pleasure of welcoming Bertelsmann entrepreneurs and founders from our portfolio on stage. Many thanks to Jon Loba from BMG - The New Music Company, Peter Koop from Bertelsmann Investments, Bin Chen from Stori and Adwait Vikram Singh from Rozana.in. Each of your entrepreneurial stories is so unique and remarkable. I am very happy that we can support you in realizing your entrepreneurial vision. You have shown on stage why Bertelsmann is the best home for entrepreneurs – THANK YOU. Also a big shoutout to my entire team from Bertelsmann Investments.
