The Würzburg International Business Forum (WIBF) was co-founded by Prof. Dr. Rainer Wehner and Prof. Dr. Emin Akcaoglu at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS) in 2018 to provide a discussion forum in international business both for academics as well as for practitioners.

The WIBF’s first International Business Conference (IBC) was held on 24-25 May 2018.  Since then, the IBC was held on a yearly basis either in Würzburg or in locations abroad.

The three major characteristics of WIBF are being

  • international,
  • applied and
  • up-to-date.

In this line the conference offers an excellent opportunity to meet thought leaders and professionals from around the world to exchange state-of-the-art business research and insightful ideas on a variety of international business topics such as operations of multinational corporations, foreign direct investment, and small and medium-sized enterprises in international business.
