Delivering the keynote speech on 'Investing in Central Europe - Why Now?', Mr Mathew Hill leading coach, consultant and intercultural trainer for multi-national businesses examined the challenges and opportunities offered by the EU's newest member states.
"Central Europe offers multiple benefits ranging from an educated population fluent in major languages such as English, German and French, good tax incentives and production costs that are often 40 per cent lower than in the west to easy geographical access to numerous economically promising countries together with a prospective consumer base of 130 million people".
However, warning of the perils of the 'invisible culture' of the region, Mr Hill stressed that entrants needed to do their homework and prepare for the challenges ahead.
"Building trust, adapting your message to regional particularities, ensuring a smooth cultural translation from the western to the central and eastern worlds, and exploiting the advantages of well-experienced personnel familiar with change will be vital to capitalising on growth opportunities in central Europe".
