LORENZ Podium

Held at LORENZ HQ in Frankurt/Main (Germany), the LORENZ Forums have offered a pleasant environment in which knowledgeable contemporaries have met to interpret and discuss current and future topics in business and politics, surrounded by friends and business partners of the LORENZ Group. Since 1996 the Forums have been hosted by Dr. Hans D. Barbier, publicist and once economic policy editor of the distinguished "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung". Guests have included Chancellors of Germany, such as Willy Brandt or Helmut Schmidt, as well as ministers, intellectuals and key business leaders.

Some events are accessible via LORENZ ID. As the events are held in German, only German-language speaking countries will have access to the videos.
