In light of this global crisis, Global Chamber Platform (GCP) Chairman and EUROCHAMBRES President Christoph Leitl is keen to bring its network members together to exchange best national and regional practices in dealing with the global pandemic and to ensure the recovery of companies globally from while addressing the need for a coordinated policy message from global business community to that end.

 To discuss these matters with you, Mr. Leitl cordially invites to you for a virtual Global Chamber Platform (GCP) meeting on the following date:

[8th of July 2020, 14:00 up until 15:30 – Brussels time]
