FIRST LETTER
1. ČSOB Česko-asijské obchodní fórum 2007
Široká škála rozličných přístupů, brilantní myšlenky vycházející z různých prostředí, kulturní
jedinočnosti a osobní zkušenosti se specifiky stovek různých odvětví – to vše stojí za diskusi,
výměnu i hlubší prozkoumání. Je toho spousta, co máme společné, i toho, v čem se lišíme,
a v čem se tak můžeme obohatit; je toho spousta, co může Evropa s Asií dosáhnout společně.
Právě proto pořádá Image Conference & Consulting s.r.o., zakladatel projektu Building
Bridges stavějícího pro Vás a s Vámi most mezi Evropou a Asií, Česko-asijské Fórum.
1st ČSOB Czech Asian Business Forum 2007
Variety of approaches, brilliant ideas coming from different environments, unique cultural
specifics, personalized experience in hundreds of individual fields – all this is worth exchanging
and enhancing. There is a lot we have in common and a lot we do not – there is a lot Europe
and Asia can do together. For this very reason, Image Conference & Consulting Ltd.,
founder of the Building Bridges project connecting businesses from Europe with Asia,
organizes Czech-Asian Forum.
