ECCK Attends High-Level Seminar Hosted by European Commission
On February 25, Christoph Heider, ECCK Secretary-General and Board Member of the European Business Organization Worldwide Network, spoke at a high-level political seminar in Brussels. The seminar focusing on the topic of “Economic Diplomacy and Foreign Policy – Friends of Foes” was hosted and organized by the European Commission.
The event was opened by Jyrki Katainen, Vice President of the European Commission and former Finnish Prime Minister. In his opening keynote, he explicitly stressed the significance of the European Chambers as valuable partners to effectively represent the voices of European businesses operating in overseas markets. Werner Hoyer, President of the European Investment Bank, delivered a reputable second opening keynote before moderated sessions began.
During the first session, Christoph Heider, Luisa Santos, Director of International Relations at Business Europe, and Charlotte Sammelin, Deputy Head of the Department for International Trade, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, exchanged views and opinions on “European Prosperity and Economic Diplomacy”.
The invitation to this high-level event demonstrated the overall importance and world-wide recognition of European Chambers. In case of the ECCK, it was also a clear indication that the Chamber has earned a positive reputation since its establishment in 2012.
