Narodeninová oslava Jeho Veličenstva Karola III. v rezidencii britského veľvyslanca Nigela Bakera bola rozhodne skvelá záležitosť, ktorá je známa britskými lahôdkami, pútavými rozhovormi a zmyslom pre priateľstvo medzi všetkými prítomnými.

Ako každý rok sa tu stretli diplomati, obchodní lídri, kultúrne osobnosti a iní významní hostia, ktorí vytvorili príjemnú atmosféru.

Radi sm sa opäť stretli aj s našimi členmi Katarínou Pšenákovou, Tesco Slovensko, Guillermo Mancholas, Richard Bright, Lenkou Pancurovou, Jaguar Land Rover Nitra, či Martinom Volekom  VOLIS International.

Opustili sme rezidenciu s hlbším ocenením britského dedičstva a pocitom spojenia so všetkými, ktorí sa zúčastnili. Bola to skutočne nezabudnuteľná noc, oslavujúca nielen pozoruhodného panovníka, ale aj trvalé väzby, ktoré nás spájajú.

Birthday celebration of His Majesty Charles III at the residence of the British Ambassador Nigel Baker was definitely a splendid affair, marked by the British delicacies, engaging conversations, and a sense of camaraderie among all attendees.

AS every year, diplomats, business leaders, cultural figures, and other distinguished guests came together, creating a vibrant and pleasant atmosphere.

We have great discussions with our members Katarína Pšenáková, Tesco Slovensko, Guillermo Mancholas, Richard Bright and Lenka Pancurova, Jaguar Land Rover Nitra or Martin Volek,VOLIS International.

We left the residence with a deeper appreciation for British heritage and a sense of connection with all those who attended. It was truly a night to remember, celebrating not only a remarkable monarch but also the enduring ties that bind us together.

Koncom júna sa v Londýne konala Globálna výročná konferencia medzinárodnej siete Britských obchodných komôr, ktorej členom je aj Britská obchodná komora SR.

Our members were represented at the conference by David Abelovič, from Everyday English. In his words, the experience was incredibly rewarding and inspiring, offering fantastic networking opportunities and valuable insights into shaping a better future for business and the economy: "At the British Chambers of Commerce Global Annual Conference, I was part of an exciting event focused on the future of the economy."

He explained that the conference dealt with five main challenges: the development of a skilled workforce, the promotion of ecological innovations, the promotion of global trade, the advancement of the digital revolution and the promotion of thriving local economies.

"Throughout the day, we engaged in lively discussions and heard from prominent entrepreneurs and public officials. I was delighted to meet influential leaders such as Thomas Woldbye, Robert Begbie, Dame Amanda Blanc DBE, Lady Nicola Mendelsohn CBE and Jurga Zillinskiene MBE. The experience was incredibly enriching and inspiring, offering fantastic networking opportunities and valuable insights into shaping a better future for business and the economy," concluded D. Abelovič.

We believe that next year we will meet several of you at this conference.

At the beginning of June, the Competitive Identity (CI) conference was held in Bratislava, focused on building the state's image, including the development of trade, tourism, talents and investments. On this occasion, the ambassador of Great Britain, H.E. Nigel Baker welcomed Professor Simon Anholt, the founder of the discipline focused on the image of states and the top authority in this field. The conference was organized by the civic association Brand Slovensko 30.

According to Professor Anholt, countries with a strong positive image have a greater number of people interested in investing, it is also true that everyone wants to live, work and study in them. On the other hand, if you have a negative image, a bad or weak image, nobody knows who you are, everything is difficult and everything is expensive, Professor Anholt clarified the importance of how people from the outside perceive the country.
