British-Slovak SME Forum – Focus on: Business for Slovakia


After the successful introduction of the new Business Centre in Bratislava in 2014, we are proud to announce that we are extending our chamber’s reach to the East of Slovakia. The official opening of our new Košice office will be held on Tuesday, October 13th, 14:00 at Hotel Yasmin. While historically we have been working with companies primarily in the west of Slovakia, we have had regular business days in the east of Slovakia and now believe that it is time we take the next step in the development of the British Chamber of Commerce and establish a permanent presence in the east of Slovakia.

 

The British Chamber of Commerce is a fully accredited member of the UK Chamber network which has over 104,000 members with over 4,5 million employees. This very exciting opportunity is supported by the British Embassy and Ambassador Garth who will be in attendance to help us launch this very important next step in the history of the British Chamber and British / Slovakia trade relations.

 

This very exciting opportunity will be supported by the British Embassy and H.M. Ambassador Andrew Garth who will be in attendance to help launch this very important next step in the history of the British Chamber and British / Slovak trade relations.

 

By establishing a new local BCCSR hub in this vitally important area of Slovakia, local business will be able to access chamber services far quicker and get the business support they deserve.

 

This is another in our series of the British – Slovak SME Forum. This high valuable business oriented event is targeted at business and entrepreneurs interested in doing business with the UK.
