At this year's YOUNG FABRI meeting in Würzburg, our young managers from FABRI Group companies came together — with a clear goal: to work together on the future of crafts and to actively shape change.
In addition to getting to know each other, the focus was primarily on strategic issues that are decisive for the future development of the group of companies. Technical lectures on business principles, such as BWA analysis or the handling of down payment and partial invoices, provided a solid foundation. Because anyone who wants to take on responsibility must understand business interrelationships — practical, tangible and relevant to their own leadership role.
A real highlight was the impetus to use artificial intelligence in crafts. While only around 40% of craft businesses currently use AI solutions, our YOUNG FABRI's have shown clear ambitions: Technologies such as AI should be specifically integrated into their own processes — not at some point, but from now on. Tim Bunkus from adesso AG opened this trip in a well-founded manner. It also became clear that AI is much more than ChatGPT — it is a strategic tool for innovation and efficiency.
At the same time, people remained at the center of the meeting. In an interactive workshop with Frauke Puttfarken, the focus was on the development of organization and team structures. Because modern project management and strong teams are the basis for sustainable change. Technology is important — but real progress can only be achieved when combined with good leadership and clear values.
The event was rounded off by open discussions, honest exchanges and many personal encounters — for example at a joint BBQ in the evening. Not only were new impulses created here, but networks were also strengthened that have an impact beyond the event.
The YOUNG FABRI meeting in March 2025 was more than just a meeting — it was a strategic milestone. Our talents are ready to take on responsibility and work with us to shape the craft of tomorrow.
