Geopolitics, Energy and Investment: Decisions in the
Midst of Global Uncertainty
On the 6th of September 2016, EuroCham will have the pleasure to organise a second discussion series with
Control Risks on Geopolitics, Energy and Investment: Decisions in the Midst of Global Uncertainty.
This event aims to analyse how business leaders can best assess and mitigate the risks to their operations in
light of different geopolitical events across the globe. From the continued expansion of ISIS in Syria and Iraq to a
potential nuclear deal with Iran, these geopolitical events continue to create great uncertainty not only for energy
markets but also the broader investment environment in Europe, Asia and beyond. Amidst this unpredictability,
business leaders must make decisions that will impact their growth trajectories for years to come.
More information will be released soon.
Customs Roundtable: Tackling Illicit Trade
A Dialogue on Public-Private Partnerships
On the 8th of September 2016, EuroCham will have the pleasure to organise a Third Policy Discussion series
addressing the challenges of illicit trade. This closed-door event seeks to foster awareness among industry
leaders regarding the harmful impact of illicit trade and its consequences on innovation and business in general.
Featuring a presentation of INTA and its new office in Singapore, the discussions will also focus on ecommerce
crimes, government strategies, as well as trade laundering and terrorism financing.
