Dear AmCham Members, Partners and Friends,
Welcome to issue number 201 of your AmCham digital Newsletter!
The AmCham team and I are simply amazed and happy to have achieved such a degree of success with this initiative! We are thrilled to be able to serve over 8,000 subscribers every week over the past four years sharing with you and your companies the business focused news and information you need to have to be successful in Luxembourg! At the same time, we have tried to be a bridge between the expat international business community and with government employees and decision makers to promote mutual understanding and solve problems by achieving common ground. We have done this in our normal AmCham way, which means doing our best to do a good job with minimal resources!
Our sincere appreciation and thanks to our Newsletter partners who have sponsored this public service initiative: Cisco, Deloitte, Losch, PwC, and PM-International!
Our interview this week is with Manuel Cuba, the Managing Director of Helix Space who has an interesting story to tell about his very special sector of activity which has emerged in Luxembourg over the past several years and which holds great promise as a new growth industry. Please enjoy his interview.
Also included please find several photos taken at Strike in Howald where a group of our AmCham and our American Football fans watched and celebrated the annual US Super Bowl competition. Strike is a cool and interesting place. A bar/restaurant with pool tables and four American style bowling alleys. Those of us who attended had a very good time and will surely be repeat customers!
In other news, work continues preparing the AmCham telephone App which will energize the improvement and expansion of our MBC program! Keep watching this space for more details…
Upcoming on 5 March we are working hard on our annual International Women’s Day event hosted by PwC. Please sign up HERE to register to join us at no cost and know that we are very happy for both women and men to register and attend this event!
On the evening of 6 March we warmly and enthusiastically invite you to join us at the DoubleTree Hilton in Dommeldange for our annual Carnival party. We work very hard to give you all a great party! This evening you can join in fancy Tuxedo attire, wearing party costumes or by dressing all in black! Sign up HERE. We have Marco Boesen and his group providing the dance-till-you-drop music, perfect party food and drinks, art on display, a women’s fashion show involving six beautiful models and great designer wear, the ever-popular fun photo booth, and we have done this at the very affordable price of 130 euro per AmCham member with free parking and the possibility for singles to sleep over for 99 euro per person with breakfast included (119 euro for couples).
You need and deserve a Winter Party! Come to our Carnival and have a good time joining with us!
My respect and very best wishes,
Paul Schonenberg
