“We need to focus on the investors’ point of view when looking at Europe as a business location”, CEO Theodor Weimer said at the Annual Reception of Deutsche Börse in Eschborn. On 23 January, after two years of Covid-related pause, this event took place for the 27th time. In addition to Weimer, the Head of the Supervisory Board Martin Jetter and the President of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde gave their speeches to an audience of 600.
Opportunities through technology
In his welcome address, Martin Jetter drew attention to the opportunities emerging from technological progress allied with strong capital markets for Europe and the world. He illustrated his message by drawing on examples from the energy, health, and automobile sectors. The amounts in the three-digit billion range that needed to be invested here could not only be shouldered by the state. Quite the contrary: “The state must act as an enabler for others”, he said.
