This Invitation Only event was a closed-door high-level dialogue with Dr. Werner Hoyer, President of the European Investment Bank, Jean-Christophe Laloux, Director General Operations and a large team of EIB officials. It was held in Washington DC on Friday April 14 in the margins of the IMF meetings.
EACC Members from a variety of industries discussed opportunities for transatlantic cooperation in climate and energy transition.
The event was organized by EACCNY and attended by high-level executives from across the EACC Network.
We were thrilled that Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara Cruises, an EACC Florida Member, was able to join this unique opportunity offered by EACC Florida and meet with EIB officials.
After returning to Miami, Carol Cabezas said:
“Big thanks to the EACC for hosting this wonderful session. Azamara is focused on exploring opportunities to enhance our sustainability efforts and this session provided new connections that support this very important agenda for our company.”
The EACC gives its members a seat at the table of the transatlantic business dialogue. If you wish to be a part of the conversation, make sure your company joins EACC Florida.
