ASIA Day 2024 in Vienna was an inspiring event filled with valuable insights into cross-cultural business relationships and updates on key Asian countries. Dong-Seon Chang’s presentation on using one’s brain to build successful business relationships across cultures was both entertaining and practical, offering actionable strategies for navigating cultural differences.
The event provided well-prepared updates on countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia. Each presenter delivered clear and informative overviews of the latest developments in these regions. A highlight was the panel discussion on the prospects for cooperation in the new economic world order, which emphasized how important it is to focus on what we can control—especially in a world of shifting geopolitical forces. The key message was clear: get organized, prepare, and stay ready for what’s to come.
As a professional in pharma logistics, the discussions were particularly relevant. The need for proactive planning, especially when it comes to global supply chains, hit home. It’s vital to adapt and ensure that life-saving medicines are delivered safely and efficiently, regardless of the challenges we face in the broader geopolitical landscape.
The event concluded with lively networking and engaging conversations over delicious Chinese food and Austrian drinks. And all of this was flawlessly, charmingly, and stunningly moderated by Hannelore Veit, whose warmth and skillful guidance made the event flow seamlessly and kept the energy high throughout the day.
