CIB Group celebrates 35 years of history. Yesterday we had breakfast together and enjoyed a slide show to recall many fond memories. We also presented our founder, Ulrich Brandner, with original newspapers from 1989, the year we were founded...
Brandner: It was an extremely exciting and moving time: October 1989 was a turning point in German history. The Monday demonstrations in the GDR became a symbol of peaceful resistance against the regime. This eventually led to the opening of the Berlin Wall in November 1989.
Brandner: There were quite a few! One anecdote in particular has stayed with me: There were no mobile phones or e-mail at that time. Due to a delay in the delivery of our telephone system, we had to conduct our business from a nearby telephone booth for almost three months. And because we couldn't be called back, we had to stand in line!
Brandner: Young entrepreneurs should use the latest technologies, especially artificial intelligence. The opportunities offered by AI are huge - you have to have the courage to use them.
Mr. Brandner, thank you very much for the interview!
