After a welcome address by Caroline von Linsingen, Deutsche Börse, company founder Professor Georg Nemetschek highlighted the importance of this moment for the Nemetschek Group. CEO Yves Padrines and CFO Louise Öfverström had also prepared a few words in which they referred to the successes of the past years and outlined the future development of the company.
