EDITORIAL BOARD
www.posiv.cz ǀ 7
The POSITIV 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,
and show them that we are here for
them. The Moravina-Silesian Chamber of
Commerce (KHK MSK) hosts many events
aimed at supporting business. These
range from seminars, to educational
experiences and networking events that
allow for new connections to be made
between members. The Chamber’s other
services offer domestic and international
marketing, which includes the search for
appropriate business partners through
the largest business support web,
Enterprise Europe Network.
After operating in Germany for some time,
I can confidently say that I am happy to be
back. Despite all the positives, I quickly
realized that I am a patriot, and that
I would like to focus on developing our
region. Our region has so much to offer.
Thanks to all of the members of the KHK
MSK and our cooperation with them.
From our cooperation, I get the chance
to look under the hood of many different
fields, from tourism to engineering and IT.
We are able to offer world-class services
in all of these fields, from the beautiful
Beskydy mountains, to even not as well
known locations such as Kozmické
Louky. Engineering and its regional
history needs no further introduction
and the supercomputer at VŠB-TUO
is a perfect example of a world-class
achievement. As regional representatives
of businesses and companies we go
with the times, even offering marketing
methods through our social media, mobile
app and others. This is where my day job
at the Chamber of Commerce meets
with my work at the editorial board of the
POSITIV Business & Style magazine.
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.
