The 2nd German-Senegalese Economic Summit of 7 November gains momentum.
Interview with Mr. Werner M. Dornscheidt, Chairman of the Management Board of Messe Düsseldorf.
In preparation for the 2nd German-Senegalese Economic Summit several Business Managers are interviewed. On 5 June we conducted the first Interview at the trade fair 'Messe Düsseldorf' (see box below). As initiator of the SAVE FOOD campaign, Mr. Dornscheidt will present the findings of the latest investigations concerning the loss and waste of foodstuff on 7 November. If we understood him correctly, the participants attending the Conference of 7 November at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in Düsseldorf will be confronted with figures which no one could have suspected until now. Hence, the energy sector and the entire food industry will face new challenges.
