Business

Style

magazine plays an important role in the

development of the region and the spread

of current events within it. Becoming part

of the editorial board and, playing a role

in deciding the magazine’s contents is

a great honor for me. As someone who

was historically more skilled with words

than numbers, this job is familiar to me.

I see many parallels between the stories

of the Moravian-Silesian Chamber of

Commerce and the POSITIV magazine.

Our shared goal is to gain the attention

of businesses, as well as regular citizens,

Our goal is to support businesses so that

they can see our region from our point of

view. That is to say we want to encourage

people to do business, invest, spend

their free time and create jobs, which are

an inseparable part of a healthy economy,

in the region. Foreign countries are

beautiful within their own right, however,

the Moravian-Silesian region is our home.
