During his tenure, Dominik Meichle has demonstrated exemplary leadership and dedication, particularly as the co-chair of the organising committee for the Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) 2024.

Bruno’s leadership is set to drive EuroCham’s advocacy, sustainability, and development initiatives in 2024, building on the chamber’s strong foundations.
