ADDITIONALLY in 2010-2011….
TBLF goes out of town
There will be visits to interesting and significant business locations - cities, counties, companies – outside Taipei city. The main purpose is to give TBLF Members a close look at companies and organizations that display excellence in what they do and are key players in Taiwan’s economy. That said, there will also be the opportunity for some socializing and sightseeing. Each visit will usually be hosted by a city or county government or company and in that case the cost to TBLF Members will be minimal.
Up close and personal
From time to time we will invite prominent people from Taiwan’s public and private sectors for an informal meeting with TBLF Members at which they will share their business philosophy and views on current economic issues.
