TÜV AUSTRIA Forum and Markus Hengstschläger in the stone centre of SCHUBERT STONE
As part of the TÜV AUSTRIA Forum, Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Markus Hengstschläger gave a lecture on the topic of "Flexicurity" on 16 September. In front of 150 interested guests from business, media and industry, the well-known geneticist emphasised the importance of promoting innovation and individuality.
The visitors were able to convince themselves of the uniqueness of our large natural stone slabs during a subsequent tour of the stone centre. The evening ended with culinary delights in the large slab hall and in the historic brick cellar of Villa Schubert.
