"Thanks to ESMT Berlin for enhancing my understanding of Solid Growth. I really enjoyed the three-day program which focused on developing effective strategies and implementing them for achieving sustainable growth. Olaf Ploetner and Bülent Gögdün provided valuable insights and expertise, which were brilliant.

The experiences shared by Maximilian von Löbbecke were particularly fascinating. His stories and insights offered a profound understanding of the challenges associated with digitization. A special thanks go to Jerry Wang for his perfect end to the program!

Analyzing common pitfalls and how to approach them with underlying case studies, along with the expertise of our host Olaf Ploetner, has not only provided me with new perspectives but also led to very fruitful discussions within the groups. I have greatly enjoyed learning about sectors other than tech in Germany."
