Daniel Mitrenga from the association „Die Familienunternehmer“ has a passion: he loves economic policy. It all started during his studies, says the 47-year-old: „I studied economics in Cologne and Berlin and did my doctorate at the University of Bayreuth. Even during my studies, I was fascinated by regulatory economics.“ He found the basic idea of a free market economy derived from this, which provides a framework for fair competition and social aspects in which entrepreneurship can develop, most strongly among family entrepreneurs.
