KPMG Business Festival 2024

Today's demands on companies are complex and require innovative but also risk-aware solutions. From dealing with climate risks to digital transformation and ethical issues in the use of artificial intelligence: the next steps are crucial for long-term success.

At the KPMG Business Festival 2024/2025, our largest virtual business event of the year, experts from a wide range of industries will show you how to adapt your strategy and find paths to success for the future of your company.

We will explain current developments and give you practical ideas on the topics of ESG, performance & strategy, digital transformation, international business and governance & compliance.

The pressure on companies to act more sustainably is growing - and with this the risk of losing competitiveness through impetuous measures. We discuss with experts from business, politics and science how risk-conscious and transparent approaches can help to create sustainable value. We also shed light on how companies can use technology and targeted measures to overcome regulatory hurdles such as the CSRD.  

Based on the COP29 results, we discuss the key findings of our study "Corporate Decarbonisation and Industrial Performance in Germany" and take a look at how successful companies actually are on their way to Net Zero. We highlight the obstacles companies face and the strategies needed to achieve climate targets.

Capital market-oriented companies are under immense pressure to meet investor expectations while optimising their earnings, liquidity and capital allocation. This pressure can lead to strategic uncertainties. Learn from leading experts how you can ensure resilient business performance and meet the increasing demands.

Artificial intelligence will transform the world of work - but where are the limits? Companies that utilise technology without clear ethical guidelines run the risk of losing the trust of their stakeholders. Practical examples and expert insights will show you how you can secure your competitiveness in an increasingly digital world.  

In summer 2025, we will celebrate the finale of the KPMG Business Festival with a major event. On four stages on the topics of ESG, performance & strategy, digital transformation and international business, we will take a look at your company's future paths to success.
