STATEMENTS OF CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS

Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO, Gebrüder Weiss (global full-service logistics provider):

Asia remains a stable, dynamic, and innovation-driven region despite global uncertainties, making it an interesting market for Gebrüder Weiss. The first AUSTRIAN STRATEGIC BUSINESS SUMMIT Indo-Pacific in Tokyo offers a platform to engage with relevant stakeholders on site.

Gerhard Hinterhäuser, Partner, Global 70 Multifamily Office (financial advisory):

Resilient strategies for globally operating companies increasingly require the consideration of geopolitical factors. Growing tensions between the USA/EU and China highlight this need. The theme of the Austrian Strategic Business Summit 2025 in Tokyo is therefore groundbreaking, and I look forward to many interesting lectures and debates on this current topic.

Helmut Bernkopf, member of the Board of Executive Directors, OeKB AG (Austria’s central provider of export guarantees and finance):

A broader diversification of markets is the need of the hour for domestic export industries, and Asia, as a dynamic and high-growth region, offers immense potential. I am very much looking forward to the Austrian Strategic Business Summit in Tokyo. The OeKB is ready to support companies in exploring new market opportunities with tailored solutions.

Martin Chaloupek, Head of Sales in Asia, FREQUENTIS Group (high-tech solutions for Air Traffic Management, Public Safety and Transport):

I am looking forward to exchanging ideas with like-minded individuals at the Austrian Strategic Business Summit. As an ambassador for Asian topics within our FREQUENTIS Group, I am always interested in new ideas, business opportunities, and cross-regional collaborations. The conference will undoubtedly provide me with a wealth of new insights.
