One wouldn't usually expect almost any given European to be familiar with a small Luxembourg community with barely more than 5,000 inhabitants. But if that community is Schengen, well, things are different. The Schengen Agreement was first signed in 1985 – by Germany, France, and the BeNeLux countries, aboard a passenger ship at berth in Schengen – and entered into force in 1995. And ever since then, traveling in Europe has been so much easier for many people. But what about the village of Schengen itself? Well, it has the European Museum and a number of European Monuments (including pieces of the Berlin Wall, no less!), but also a castle with baroque gardens and a church which also contains a nod to Europe: for the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Schengen Agreement, an icon was commissioned depicting the patron saints of Europe and the twelve stars. #citiesofeurope #europeanunion #schengen Image by Pixabay

🔗🎥 Just wrapped up a thought-provoking webinar organised by Visionest Institute (Ukraine), engaging 15 Ukrainian furniture companies in discussions about entering the UK market. The dialogue encompassed a spectrum of crucial questions, from market entry strategies and financial considerations to understanding consumer preferences and the challenges of navigating the UK business landscape. 🔍 Exploring topics such as the influence of UK business associations, the reception of Ukrainian goods, and the complexities of market entry, participants gained valuable insights for their global expansion journey. 🤝 An integral part of the event was dedicated to exploring the valuable membership services offered by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasising our commitment to supporting Ukrainian businesses during these challenging times. Connecting with colleagues from the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry regional network who joined the conversation was inspiring, adding diverse perspectives to the dialogue. 📺 For those who missed it, the recording is available here: https://lnkd.in/e_Mbw5Kv. Feel free to revisit the discussion and share your reflections. More engaging sessions are in the pipeline! 🛋️🌐 #globalbusiness #marketinsights 🚀📊

A new essay on my blog. The Champagne fairs of medieval Europe, held from the 12th to the 14th centuries in northeastern France, were pivotal in transforming the continent's economic, social, and political landscape. These fairs, strategically located between the cloth-producing regions of Flanders and the wealthy Italian city-states, evolved from local markets into major commercial hubs that facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and financial practices across Europe. The fairs played a central role in the rise of a new merchant class, a significant social change, and the development of sophisticated financial instruments. They also influenced urban growth and international relations, contributing to the gradual erosion of feudalism and laying the groundwork for modern capitalism and trade networks. The legacy of the Champagne fairs extends beyond their immediate historical context, highlighting their role as drivers of economic innovation and societal change in medieval Europe. https://lnkd.in/gkv5AqPc

What does knowledge mean in the 21st century? The first day of our Festival is dedicated precisely to this question. Katarzyna Drożdżal, the Head of the Program Board of WUD Silesia, in her latest article on our blog, brings up this question, outlining a fascinating picture of ourselves - a "society immersed in information" that may have permanently abandoned aspirations to become a "knowledge society". We invite you to read it! Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/duVUgXDz And what does knowledge mean to you? 🤔
