Launch of the CBS Competitiveness Platform
In the years to come, CBS will make competitiveness a major issue. The competitiveness of firms in a rapidly developing global competition is of paramount importance for the society and its development. Therefore, CBS is making major investments in developing research, education and enhancing public debate and understanding in the complex field of what makes firms competitive.
Friday March 15, the CBS Competitiveness Platform will kick off with a strong and ambitious lineup. The key note speakers – Jørgen Tang-Jensen, CEO of Velux and Jørgen Buhl Rasmussen, CEO of Carlsberg – will address the issue of competitiveness and how their firms relate to it. Afterwards there will be a networking session with food and beverages.
