PFALZKOM at Wirtschaft trifft Verwaltung 2026

Secure and reliable cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and digital resilience are the cornerstones of a sustainable economy and modern public administration today.

Event Announcement: “Business Meets Government” on September 17, 2026, in Mannheim – PFALZKOM as lead sponsor

Secure and reliable cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and digital resilience are the cornerstones of a sustainable economy and modern public administration. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular often face major challenges when getting started with these topics, as they lack the necessary resources or specialized expertise in their day-to-day operations.

To provide guidance, build bridges, and foster direct dialogue, the well-established event series “Wirtschaft trifft Verwaltung” is once again bringing together decision-makers from the business community, academia, politics, and public administration this year.

As an IT service provider with deep regional roots and a pioneer in secure infrastructure, we actively support this important initiative: PFALZKOM is the proud lead sponsor of this year’s regional conference. We cordially invite you to join us on September 17, 2026, at the MARCHIVUM in Mannheim!

Focus on Regional Value Creation and Digital Sovereignty

This year, the conference is placing a special emphasis on one area: For the first time, a regional showcase featuring sovereign cloud solutions and IT security will be presented. The focus is on strengthening regional value-creation networks in order to sustainably increase the digital resilience of the entire Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

Look forward to top-notch speakers and valuable insights, including from:

  • Albrecht Hornbach (CEO of Hornbach Management AG & President of the Palatinate Chamber of Industry and Commerce)
  • Dr. Nicolas Sölter (State Secretary at the Hessian Ministry of Digitalization and Innovation)
  • Christian Specht (Mayor of Mannheim)
  • as well as numerous experts from the fields of practice and academia.
