Abstract of  Michal’s presentation:

After a surprisingly strong 2017, Europe’s economy slowed sharply in the first quarter. Is this a temporary blip or a sustained slowdown? How can businesses reap the opportunities of a time of rapid technological and global change? What are the policy and political risks ahead?

 

The EMVA Business Conference will take place 7-9 June 2018 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
