avedos at RiskNET Summit 2020
This year’s RiskNET Summit was held on 20 – 21 October at the office facilities of BORA in Raubling, Germany. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event took place under strict hygienic precautions with the maximum contingent of allowed participants.
The pandemic’s impact on the economy, geopolitics and the global value-added chains clearly show how imperative preventative, effective risk management is. These factors made this year’s RiskNET Summit a highly insightful event. The modern design of the BORA building provided an ideal setting.
