Kernaussagen
- Davos der Hospitality: Martin erzählt, wie er die Idee zum BEAM Summit mit Thomas gepitcht hat: Hotels, Restaurants, Hersteller und Landwirtschaft gehören als organischer Kreis zusammen. Daraus wurde der Anspruch, das Davos der Hospitality zu bauen.
- Familienbetriebe als Vorteil: Der Südtirol-Botschafter nennt die familiengeführten Hotels, Restaurants, Bars, Pizzerias und Berghütten als den international stärksten Punkt der Region. Die junge Generation macht weiter, auf ihre eigene Art, auch in den Weingütern.
- Pflanzenbasiert in die Gastronomie: Matteo Piano entwickelt mit seiner Frau pflanzenbasierte und mikrobielle Lebensmittel und bringt sie in Catering und Restaurants. Er sucht auf dem Summit ein Team aus Leuten mit unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten.
- Licht, Material, Raum: Timon Grau von der Hamburger Leuchtenfirma Grau und Corinna von Vitra sprechen auf der Bühne über Licht und Design. Beide Firmen tauchen oft in denselben Räumen auf.
- Klein bleiben beim Co-Living: Ein Unternehmer aus Wien hat das alte Gasthaus der Großeltern seiner Frau in Tisens zu einem Co-Living mit Coworking umgebaut, seit sechs Jahren. Er will klein bleiben, um näher an den Gästen zu sein.

Welcome to BEAM 2026. It's your first time here?
- 02:54 Matteo Piano
Yes. Uh, well, not the first time at BEAM, yes, but not the first time in Bolzano.
- 02:57 Ronald M. Arndt
Okay. Yeah. Tell us a little bit about you.
- 02:59 Matteo Piano
My name is Matteo Piano. Uh, I'm an Italian, but I live in the Netherlands. I was raised in Belgium and, um, together with my wife, we created a company, actually 2 companies. One is in consulting. And branding, and the other one is a new food development and specialized in plant-based and microbial foods. And, uh, late years we are actually focusing more how can we offer these type of foods to the gastronomy market, to the food service market. That's so the kind of work we are doing.
- 03:30 Ronald M. Arndt
Yeah. Interesting to hear because food, hotels, so it's hospitality in the end.
- 03:34 Matteo Piano
Yes. Hospitality, food service. So we are working a lot for catering, mm-hmm, develop food for catering, of course, restaurants. But, uh, it, it's a, it's a world that is actually growing, especially when we are talking about plant-based, when we're talking about macro bio foods.
- 03:50 Ronald M. Arndt
Yeah.
- 03:51 Matteo Piano
Yeah. It's something that's growing.
- 03:53 Ronald M. Arndt
Is there one conversation you're looking for here at, at BEAM?
- 03:56 Matteo Piano
Well, actually, over the next 2 days, I like to be really submerged in the world of hospitality and to try to create a team of people who approach food in hospitality from different point of views. Because I believe that an ecosystem can only succeed when people of different expertise work together to a result. And that's what I'm trying to find here. Yes. And of course, we are also in South Tyrol, which is a bit between Austria and Italy.
- 04:28 Ronald M. Arndt
Sure.
- 04:28 Matteo Piano
And I think that is a great, great mix for the kind of products we want to develop.
- 04:32 Ronald M. Arndt
Right. So let's get our first drink as we are at the beginning. Yeah, and let's have fun.
- 04:38 Matteo Piano
Thank you. Thank you.
- 04:39 unklar
Oh, the mic was not on. It's the old Eminem trick.
- 04:43 Ronald M. Arndt
Yeah, you know, you're here, it's always on the mic if you're here. Yeah, true.
- 04:48 unklar
So what's the point, man? What are we doing here?
- 04:50 Ronald M. Arndt
Yeah, where are we today? We're not in Berlin as we had a podcast a few weeks ago.
- 04:54 unklar
We're not in Berlin, we're not in Stuttgart, um, but we're in, um, in Bolzano, in Bozen, which is, um, An amazing place to be, and I wish you all could be here as well. We're at the Beam. The Beam is for me one of the most important fairs, if we can call it a fair, in the world. We have a place— oh, look, we get food delivered.
- 05:20 Ronald M. Arndt
Even the food is on the camera, great.
- 05:22 unklar
Yeah, very good. That's the reason why we're in Bozen, because we get food brought. And I like how she ignored you, saying, no, don't bother. No, but what I was about to say, it's actually a summit. It's a Changemaker Summit, and I really enjoyed it last year, and I said I'm going to come again because I really was inspired last year so much. So I have high expectations on this year to get the same way of inspiration.
- 05:46 Ronald M. Arndt
So hand over the mic to another guest of the BEAM Summit. Hello, who are you and where are you from?
- 05:52 Victor
I'm Victor. I'm, uh, happy to be part again in this amazing summit, uh, which we were part of from the beginning actually. So, uh, we are, um, We were in charge as well of some aspects of positioning, idea of branding, and also some aspects of the contents and some speakers. So for me, it's a pleasure that like the world is coming together here in Bolzano and meeting here at BEAM. And yeah, it's an amazing feeling and an amazing—
- 06:21 Ronald M. Arndt
So you're from South Tyrol actually?
- 06:23 Timon Grau
Yes.
- 06:23 Vanessa
Yes.
- 06:23 unklar

- 07:23 Vanessa
It's, it's the first time that I'm at BEAM physically, but mentally I enjoyed every BEAM so far.
- 07:30 Ronald M. Arndt
Okay. What kind of conversations you're looking for here during the next 2 days?
- 07:36 Vanessa
Well, what I experienced so far is, um, there are only nice people. They're professionals from the hospitality sector. So you can only have nice conversations over here about topics that are quite connected to hotels and hospitality. Besides of that, um, I think we can talk a lot about culinary experiences of South Tyrol.
- 08:05 Ronald M. Arndt
So, we went here and it's already such a nice atmosphere. Yeah, very typical. That's South Tyrol, huh?
- 08:11 Vanessa
Actually.
- 08:11 unklar (Südtirol-Botschafter)
That's, that's actually South Tyrol. Yes. It's the perfect combination of Alpine and Mediterranean. So, yes, we have, we have the good, oh, we take, we, took the best of both cultures, of the Alpine culture and the Italian culture. So yeah, and we like to show that to you especially. But we talked about already that you're— it's not your first time in Saftrol, so which is great, and you're always coming back. So that's, that's what we like to, to have new people also and people who like to come back to Saftrol and, and yeah, and also, and also to BEAM, obviously, because We are looking forward to an amazing BEAM this year. And yeah.
- 08:59 Ronald M. Arndt
What do you think South Tyrol can teach the world of hospitality? Is there something or is it everything together? It's a package.
- 09:08 unklar (Südtirol-Botschafter)
I work a lot with international people and what we, what's our best and what we, what's our best advantage is the family owned properties, family-owned hotels, family-owned restaurants, family-owned bars, pizzerias, whatever, mountain huts. That's what internationally we can really, that's, yeah, that's the best. Right. What, uh, and, and it's also good to, or very important to continue also with the younger generation. And I see also there's a big, um, Yeah, they are, they're very happy to do it. Also the younger generation, obviously in a different way than maybe the parents or the grandparents did, but still, uh, they continue. Yeah. Also in the wineries, for example, not just in hospitality. Yeah. Uh, in hotels or, but, um, or in, yeah, in, in, in other sectors. And that's, that's our, our biggest advantage.
- 10:13 Vanessa
Yes.

- 12:36 unklar (Co-Living Tisens)
Exactly.
- 12:37 unklar
Yes.
- 12:38 Ronald M. Arndt
And you're an entrepreneur here from the region?
- 12:40 unklar (Co-Living Tisens)
Yes, basically I'm from Vienna, but I moved here because of love. And I turned an old guesthouse from my wife's grandparents into a vibrant community co-living. And for 6 years now, we're the only one here and we still love it. We met great people, like from all over the world, like mostly from America, Canadian, Australia. And we're lucky to show them like how beautiful it is here.
- 13:08 Ronald M. Arndt
Yeah, there are quite a lot of Americans here, no?
- 13:11 unklar (Co-Living Tisens)
So yes, because like as a co-living, like we offering like a co-working space for them and mostly the Americans know how to do that or it's more possible for them than in the European countries and that's why we have a lot of Americans here and South Americans, but we see that there is more and more coming from Germany and Eastern Europe also. Um, enjoying travel and work and combine this one.
- 13:37 Ronald M. Arndt
So tell us where it is and what's the name of your co-living?
- 13:39 unklar (Co-Living Tisens)
So we're based in Tisas, it's a little village between Merano and Bolzano, and it's called Franz and Matilda Co-Living and Vacation Retreat. And do you have a dream to have a real hotel one day, or, uh, we, we like to stay small because then we can get easily and deeper in touch with our guests, and I think That's for us the, the core value, to be in touch and learn from each other.
- 14:02 Ronald M. Arndt
Great. So all the best.
- 14:04 unklar (Co-Living Tisens)
