Predstavitelia WU (Ekonomická univerzita vo Viedni), EUBA (Ekonomická univerzita v Bratislave), SGH (Varšavská ekonomická škola), spojili svoje sily pri tvorbe nového certifikačného programu „Central Europe Connect“. Účastníci programu sa dozvedia o výzvach, s ktorými sa stretávajú nadnárodné firmy pri podnikaní v stredoeurópskom regióne. Ekonomiky Strednej Európy formujú svojím rýchlym procesom rozvoja, hospodárskym rastom a vitalitou ako aj silným prílevom priamych zahraničných investícií vznik miestnych šampiónov tohto ekonomického regiónu.
