				Welcome Presentation by Jürgen Dormann Real Audio Presentation (9:05 min) (Installation Guide) Welcome Speech In his welcoming address, the Hoechst CEO Jürgen Dorman discussed the reasons the Aventis Foundation called the Aventis Triangle Forum into being. He said that Hoechst is at the center of several processes and developments which will have a major influence on the future of the world. One of the world's main challenges in the future, he said, will be to develop an environmentally sustainable means of producing enough food. Aventis, the planned merger between Hoechst and Rhone-Poulenc, with its capabilities in key technologies and knowledge of global life sciences markets, can make key contributions to this objective. Mr. Dorman said the Triangle Forum was established so that tomorrow's thinkers and active members of society, both in cultural and scientific areas, can enter into a dialog about future issues.
