Business Event with Nicole Kurek, SICK AG, Christoph Siegel, VEGA Grieshaber KG & Dr. Michael Lauk, B. Braun SE | As part of the German-American Business Community (GABC)

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the world of work—but not in the same way everywhere. What works at the German headquarters may not work nearly as well in the U.S., India, or China. On October 14, 2026, three experienced practitioners will discuss how AI is shaping work, leadership, and locally diverse corporate cultures.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Insights from the Field: How do international companies use AI—and what cultural differences play a role?
  • Insights for Leadership and HR: What skills do leaders and teams need in an AI-driven workplace?
  • Room for Discussion: During the get-together that follows, you’ll have the opportunity to talk with the speakers and other participants.

Our speakers:

  • Nicole Kurek, Board Member People & Culture, SICK AG
  • Christoph Siegel, responsible for Sales, Customer Services, Product Management, Information Management and IT, VEGA Grieshaber
  • Dr. Michael Lauk, Global Chief Digital Officer, B. Braun Gruppe
