+++ Statement Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG +++ 105th Annual General Meeting of BMW AG on 14th May 2025 +++ Livestream from the Olympic Hall in Munich +++
Robust. Dependable. With a clear focus on the future.
The BMW way – for the success of your company.
Dear Shareholders!
Our lives are increasingly digital – and, in global business, virtual formats offer many advantages. But, let's not forget – people are not digital. We all still value meeting face to face. We want to look each other in the eye.
That is why it is great to see so many of you here today, in the Olympiahalle. And to everyone joining us remotely: A very warm welcome to you as well!
This is your company’s 105th Annual General Meeting!
The heart of BMW beats all over the world. BMW is a global team, united by a strong sense of community. 159,000 people: highly motivated. High-performing. Innovative. Together, we are the BMW Group.
Of course, one could also say: BMW, that's just a DAX-listed company. A reliable employer; at its core, it remains an abstract construct.
