What a wonderful second course week for Central Europe Connect (CEC) at WU 😊
Central Europe Connect (CEC) is a Joint Certificate Program offered in cooperation by WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien), EUBA Bratislava and SGH Warsaw School of Economics. In the course of a semester, students spend one course week in each of the cities of the participating universities. In the process, participants acquire academic skills, encounter a variety of business topics and get to know the region of Central Europe.

Last week, the program director Arnold Schuh together with his team hosted the CEC course week at WU Vienna. In addition to the work in class the students engaged in a city trip through Vienna, company visits, a panel discussion, as well as in plenty of opportunities to network.

Our Master Class CEE 2022-23 students are back from their field trip to Warsaw.

“By meeting different stakeholders (academics, experts and company visits) we learned about the Polish economy in general, how attractive it is for FDI and how Polish companies are run successfully. All in all, the trip enhanced the understanding of how Polish firms deal with the current multiple crises, pursue growth, and expand globally. And Warsaw impressed all of us.”
(Veronika Pribula, Master Class CEE student 2022/23)

Die Wertschöpfung in und rund um die Industrie ist für Österreich bedeutend, da neben der Wertschöpfung im Inland auch die Internationalisierung von der Industrie angetrieben wird. Die Industrie ist ein Fundament der internationalen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Österreichs. Dabei geht es auch um Dienstleistungen wie Planung, Schulung, Projektmanagement, Betriebsführung, Transporte, Finanzierung etc., die mit dem Verkauf verbunden sind.

Arnold Schuh im Interview mit dem Kurier:

Immer mehr Unternehmen drohen mit der Abwanderung, warnen Vertreter aus der Industrie. Die Zahlen zeigen etwas anderes.
