A new association is being created in Geneva to encourage and facilitate contacts between Swiss and Kazakh business people and academics.  The Kazakh-Swiss Business Club will share the secretariat of the Russian-Swiss Business Club (created in 1994) and, like the RSBC, will run various award ceremonies which are a useful tool for Swiss business people to meet their counterparts in former Soviet Republics.

Joint membership of the RSBC and KSBC is open to companies based or linked to Switzerland.  Such members (and this would include new ones) are invited to take part in the ceremonies of Monday 20 December to be held in Palexpo.

From 12 noon to 16.00 (broken by a light lunch), members from both Switzerland and Kazakhstan will address participants, and the Gold Medal award ceremony will begin at 16.00.

A gala dinner will be held at 19.00 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

A contribution of CHF 200.- is requested for participation in this event.

For further information, please contact the secretariat on 022-774 36 11 (fax:  022 774 31 69 or e-mail:  info@technomic.ch).
