Bridges to Asia - March 13, 2015

«BRIDGES TO ASIA»
MARCH 19, 2015
AURA ZURICH
Economic Forum Zurich 2015
THE VISION
The Annual Economic Forum Zurich creates a unique platform to encourage
selected participants within a limited circle to discuss current key issues
and to improve on various economic topics through an unrivalled way of
interaction to achieve the objective of changes. Zurich is an important hub
for science, business and the arts and thus the right platform for a business
community that aims at investing in sustainable change through innovation.
Participants have the rare opportunity to initiate real change and shape
future agendas through open discussion and mutual decision finding. Agreed
strategies will be implemented and monitored after the event to put the
visions into practice.
This year’s Forum «Bridges to Asia» intends to bring Asia closer to Zurich and
vice versa with emphasis on two different topics being addressed at two
consecutive Forum sessions. Each Forum will be initiated by an open panel
discussion with experts and yourself, followed by mutual recommendations
for changes and concluding with various networking events.
The Aura conference facilities are an ideal environment to make such an
exchange possible.
