Champions Dinner 2026

It is always a special experience: on January 15, we had the pleasure of welcoming the winners of the Hidden Champions Award 2026/27 at the traditional Champions Dinner in Berlin — the oldest and arguably most demanding award for management consultants in the German-speaking world. At the China Club Berlin, we raised a glass with the managing directors of the honored firms to celebrate their success. Around 90 guests used the evening for open exchange in a confidential setting: for trusted conversations, new perspectives, and the shared development of strong ideas. On the panel were Dr. Timo Blenk of Agora Strategy, Dr. Mike Körner of ACTRANS, Georgiy Michailov of Struktur Management Partner, and Stefan Aichbauer of H&Z. Moderated by Capital editor-in-chief Timo Pache, the discussion took place under the theme: “When the world falters: The art of safeguarding competitiveness.” An evening of clear words and nuanced perspectives.
