4 May 2012
Responsible business and information systems
Advanced businesses and business processes pursue sustainable development through intelligent entrepreneurship and the imaginative but practical application of information technology (IT). They have become cornerstones of business innovations world-wide. On 4 May 2012 thought leaders and successful entrepreneurs meet at the Liechtenstein Congress to present and discuss their fi ndings, showcasing the best of responsible business innovation and green IT solutions.

«Business as usual» is at odds with rapidly changing conditions. The imaginative anticipation of tomorrow’s challenges is trump. Today’s innovative business changes go well beyond yesterday’s corporate social responsibility programs. Today, companies and institutions discover profi table business models and management processes founded on the new prosperity that lies in a global business move towards zero-waste, zero-emission development, renewable energy, environmental innovation and social inclusion.

Ecopreneurial principles and the pervasive application of green IT solutions support private and public organisational strategies in the global quest for competitiveness, while working to sustain the existential base of the planet - sustainability governance, policy and individual action can only be aided by entrepreneurial spirit and the smart deployment of advanced information technology.
