Global Village on the Move
Global Village on the Move (GVOTM) is a mobile version of the highly acclaimed Global Village for Future Leaders of Business and Industry, an Iacocca Institute program which integrates learning elements in leadership and entrepreneurial skills, business and industry knowledge, and the tolls to build a powerful global network.
GVOTM programs are held in unique centers of business around the world. GVOTM programs aim to provide a professional level educational experience to participants with a great deal of customization and a flavor of the local and regional business culture and landscape.
About GVOTM Luxembourg 2016 In September 2016, GVOTM will take place for the first time in Luxembourg, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand-Duchy.
GVOTM Luxembourg 2016 will be devoted to the general theme "Leading Business beyond Borders". The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg is located in the heart of the so-called "Blue Banana", the most dynamic economic area in the EU which stretches - in a shape of a banana - from Northwest England to Italy, and covers the greatest concentration of urban population in Europe. Its favorable geographic location ranks Luxembourg as an ideal gateway to the European market, counting over 500 million consumers. The modest dimension of the Luxembourg economy is key to explaining its historic openness to larger markets. With a population just over 500,000, foreign trade is the main vector for economic growth. More than 80% of the goods and services produced in the Grand-Duchy are exported, almost entirely, to the European market. Still, the Grand Duchy perseveres in its efforts to extend its presence in markets outside the EU in order to further develop through trade. The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg has a longstanding experience in attracting international companies from a variety of sectors, so as to become home to some of the most successful global companies. The highly skilled, multi-lingual and international workforce, the business-friendly legal and regulatory framework and the rewarding tax environment add to Luxembourg attractiveness as a prime business location in Europe.
The GVOTM Luxembourg theme "Leading Business beyond Borders" perfectly captures the ambition the Chamber of Commerce has to give valuable insight into Luxembourg's internationally active business culture.
