Dialogue for last-minute decision-makers: Taxi Federation of Lower Saxony launches a tour across five cities.

From August 19 to 21, the association invites to so-called Entrepreneur Dialogues in Lüneburg, Oldenburg, Osnabrück, Hanover and Brunswick. The aim is to obtain as accurate a picture as possible of the situation in the businesses and at the same time to promote exchange among the entrepreneurs.

Unlike traditional industry meetings, there are no lectures or presentations at the center. Instead, the aim is to discuss what is currently moving the businesses. The organizers explicitly encourage participants to contribute their own topics, ideas, and experiences.

Practical experience over the podium

At the center of the discussion rounds are the economic situation of the companies, regional peculiarities and political developments affecting the trade. It should also address how the industry's representation can be strengthened.

The meetings should provide space for open discussions – without lengthy speeches and without a rigid program. Especially in an industry that in many places faces similar problems, looking beyond one's own business can provide valuable impulses.

For the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars (BVTM), which accompanies the initiative, the events are also an opportunity to capture moods and concerns directly from the regions. Because many challenges differ significantly depending on location. While in larger cities competition with platform-mediated transports is often in the foreground, rural regions are often concerned with questions of profitability and the securing of mobility provision.

Good response

According to the organizers, the dates are already fully booked. However, those who decide at short notice can still register by email. The interest shows that the need for personal exchange in the industry remains unabated.

Especially in times when many discussions take place on social networks or digital conferences, the Entrepreneurs' Dialogues rely on direct conversation. There, experiences can be exchanged, joint positions developed and contacts established that can endure beyond the respective date.
