“Our meeting was focused on improving trade and investment flows between the COBCOE Nordic-Baltic area and the UK” said COBCOE President Howard Rosen. “We know that the private sector, working through chambers of commerce will be a vital component in the recovery of economies in Europe and there are some tremendous business opportunities ahead of us. In this internet age and global market, personal contacts are more important than ever and COBCOE delivers to its constituent members a unique business network across Europe and to other major trading nations in the world” he added.
