#17 Stéphanie Damgé - Director Jonk Entrepreneuren Letzebuerg – Boosting entrepreneurship
In discussion with Stéphanie Damgé, the director of the Young entrepreneurs Luxembourg association, the Logistics Conversations Podcast moderator Malik Zeniti discusses what programs already exist in Luxembourg to bring the idea of entrepreneurship to the school system for kids of 10-15 years.
She emphasizes the importance of orientation of young people to achieve motivated talents with mindsets and attitudes that embrace entrepreneurship.
She’s persuaded that entrepreneurship is not a matter of DNA but can be developed depending on the environment.
Since JEL was founded in 2005 the image about entrepreneurs changed in Luxembourg according to Damgé and she encourages to try something and accept failure as experiences to grow from.
Stephanie’s biggest dream is that nobody leaves school without exposure to one program and sponsors are very welcome to achieve this vision.

#14 Siegfried Serrahn: Abmessungen und Gewichte - Sicherheit im Lastverkehr
Siegfried Serrahn der Spedition Serrahn aus Osnabrück befasst sich im Interview mit Malik Zeniti mit dem Thema Strassentransport und Sicherheit des Lastverkehrs.
Siegfried Serrahn ist Inhaber der Serrahn Spedition und Logistik GMBH seit Stahlspediteur und Baustellenspediteur und ein Befürworter des Lang-LKW’s Typ 1 mit 15 m Auflieger im Rahmen der CO2-Reduzierung und Bekämpfung des Fahrermangels.
„Der Lang-LKW ist ein Baustein um den Güterverkehr anders oder besser zu gestalten um CO2 oder andere Emissionen zu reduzieren“
Wir können nicht auf der einen Seite jammern, dass wir zu viel CO2 ausstoßen und verhindern auf der anderen Seite Veränderungen und Innovationen wegwischen! Das geht nicht! Wir müssen gemeinsam nach vielen Lösungen suchen, nicht zu vergessen, dass die Motoren unserer LKW auch verändert und verbessert werden müssen.
