Advanced Workplaces for Advanced Business EUWIN regional workshop DRAFT AGENDA 19 October (Monday) 2015 VENUE: FORT Sokolnickiego, ul. Stefana Czarnieckiego 51 (tbc) Warsaw, Poland To stay ahead of their competitors companies need to invest not only in technological innovations. They also need to rethink the non-technological aspects of running a business. Firm's structure, HR management, internal decision-making, relationships with clients & suppliers or work environment – all those elements counts for gaining and keeping the market advantage. Policy makers and business leaders will gather in Warsaw to discuss the mechanisms to support the uptake of non-technological innovations by the Polish companies. This event will also be an occasion to hear from the workplace experts what are the concrete tools you can use in your daily business practise. Finally, you will also have a chance to meet your possible future business partners. The conference is jointly organised by the European Commission's EUWIN and the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) and Koźmiński University.
