SwissCham: Global trends in the world of wine
2018-06-06
How Asia, technology and millennial consumers are changing the wine landscape
We are witnessing the rise of Asia as a wine consumer and in some cases, even as a wine producer. Millennial consumers want to drink wines that are enjoyable, but also healthy and produced in harmony with the environment. Technology and social media are changing the way we buy, consume and talk about wine. Threats to the wine world abound too: climate change and sustainability, wine fraud, unbalance in demand and supply … Still, quality and variety of the wines available to us today have never been as high and wide. Our brief overview of today’s powerful trends driving transformation in the world of wine will be accompanied by the tasting of a few wines from Wine Universe’s wide selection, made from characteristic grapes closely linked to their terroir and demonstrating the variety and richness of contemporary wine production.

New Voices and Political Choices in the age of Artificial Intelligence
2018-09-21
Artificial intelligence, robotics and machine learning are leaving the pages of science fiction to become part of our lives. Yet, society tends to regard many new technologies as agents of negative change. Fear – also fuelled by populism – is a real obstacle in embracing these new technologies and reaping their benefits. In this lecture, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation – Carlos Moedas – will bring his perspective on the role of politics and political choices in the deployment and adoption of these and other emerging technologies.

CARLOS MOEDAS European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation
Carlos Moedas is currently Commissioner in charge of Research, Science and Innovation at the European Commission. He became member of the Commission in 2014. Prior to that, he was elected for Portugal’s National Parliament and worked from 2011 to 2014 as Secretary of State to the Prime Minister of Portugal in charge of the Portuguese Adjustment Programme. From 2010 to 2011, he worked as Senior Economic Advisor of the Portuguese Social Democratic Party. In 2008, he founded his own investment company, Crimson Investment Management. In 2004, he became Managing Director of Aguirre Newman and member of the Executive Board of Aguirre Newman in Spain. He has held several key positions in the corporate sector including in mergers and acquisitions at investment bank Goldman Sachs in London. Born in Beja, Portugal, in 1970 he graduated in Civil Engineering from the Higher Technical Institute in 1993 and completed his final year of studies at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris. Commissioner Moedas also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.

The EU Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 Business Mission in the Philippines happening in July 9-13, 2018 is an exclusive opportunity for EU companies to learn, map out, and develop a strategy for scaling their business in the rising ASEAN state. The Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 sectors have been identified as key investment areas in the Philippines as steady growth is observed due to improvements made on ease of doing business policies and the development of special economic zones and investment incentives. Participants can expect to gain comprehensive knowledge on: the manufacturing, assembly and service facilities in the Philippines; the different investment incentives by the Philippines government for EU companies; Special Economic Zones and prime locations for related business activities and trade; and networking opportunities with relevant Philippine Industry officials, stakeholders and potential partners.
