βThe industry has created jobs and supported European economies. It carries a great responsibility as a result of the role it plays in society.β
We all come together to set standards for the entire industry which means all of us have to collaborate and have to compromise and we all have to be happy and feel that the end result has represented our interests.
The industry has grown immensely it has created jobs and it has majorly supported European economies, it also carries a a great responsibility as a result of the role that it plays in society. Well it is all about making a difference when I think about the future and how private capital can shape a better tomorrow I recall the concept of the second bounce of the bowl which comes from a book sir Ronald Coen wrote about investing with a private equity mindset. This is all about turning risk into opportunity, harnessing the entrepreneurial spirits, and thinking about where the market will go in the future. There are so many challenges that are thrown at our societies, we face immense risks for people and the planet. There's a need to collectively address climate change, biodiversity loss, inequality, human rights abuses, these issues should shape how we look at opportunities in our industry and I believe they will shape the future as well.
