An international conference “China – Hong Kong – Poland in face of the initiative of New Silk Road” took place on June 29, in Olivia Business Centre. The conference was organised by the Regional Chamber of Legal Counsels in Gdańsk in cooperation with: Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Berlin, Hong Kong Trade Development Council in Warsaw, HSBC Bank Polska S.A., the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Gdańsk, Olivia Business Centre in Gdańsk and Pomeranian Employers.

The aim of the conference was to strengthen the relations between the entrepreneurs and legal counsels in the context of the future cooperation regarding business and legal support of Chinese investments in Poland.

That is why, the entrepreneurs interested in economic cooperation with China and Hong Kong were invited to the conference. We had a chance to listen to such speakers as: the representative of Hong Kong government – Mrs Betty Ho, Vice President of Advocacy – Mrs Heather Jun Han, Vice President of Lawyers’ Association in Hong Kong – Mr Amirali Nasir and many other guests.

China is the biggest market in the world, the second importer after the USA, the first exporter, and one of the fastest growing Poland’s economic partner. For entrepreneurs, China is a chance to provide profits for a long time. It is a potential market with a half billion consumers, whose aspirations and needs will be ensuring the demand for goods and services from partner countries. At the same time, it is a country with a fast growing economy. With this in mind, both countries are aiming to strengthen their mutual relations and strategic cooperation.

At the conference, there also took place a formal ceremony, during which two Cooperation Agreements were signed: between the Regional Chamber of Legal Advisers in Gdańsk and Advocacy in Shenzhen, as well as between the Regional Chamber of Legal Advisers in Gdańsk and Lawyers’ Association in Hong Kong.

Charismatic performances of the most famous operettas and film music hits warmed up the musical emotions of a record number of guests of our Olivia Camerata series, which has already taken place over 11 times!

The audience of the concert was over 110 people (including entire multigenerational families and families with children), passionate about operettas, musicals and film musical hits, which filled the Olivia Sky Club hall on Saturday afternoon, July 1.

The program of the over an hour long concert, which ended with a standing ovation, 3 encores and many individual thanks, included the greatest hits of the operetta, including, apart from tango and czardasz, “Dance the Night Away” from the musical “My Fair Lady”, “Somewhere my love” from the film “Doctor Zhivago”, “A Bit of Happiness in Love” (“Ada to nie wywa”) or “I will wait for you” (“Umbrellas from Cherbourg”). Ewelina Wojciechowska (soprano), an artist who performs at the Baltic Opera in Gdańsk on a daily basis, was accompanied on the piano by a renowned pianist, Dr. Anna Mikolon. The extraordinary talent of the artist and the intricate performances of her accompaniment, Dr. Anna Mikolon, will remain in the memory of our community passionate about culture and chamber music for a long time.

High culture has an extraordinary strength and energy. It carries universal values, increases the quality of life, and is also important for our personal and, too, professional development. That is why projects dedicated to supporting and popularizing it, including our own one, Olivia Cooltura, are so important to us. We want OBC to be a place of unique, inspiring meetings from which Olivia’s employees and the residents of our metropolis draw – says Monika Bogdanowicz from Olivia Business Centre, originator and coordinator of Olivia Cooltura – We initiated a series of chamber concerts as part of Cooltura in 2016. So far, 11 of them have been held. We invite everyone interested to the Camerata do Olivia, as the events organized as part of Olivia Cooltura are open to the general public.

Olivia Cooltura is an interdisciplinary project of Olivia Business Centre, aimed at popularizing and promoting culture in its entirety. Dedicated to both the employees of the Olivia complex and the residents of the Tri-City, Olivia Cooltura is intended to integrate the community centred around Olivia and serve the construction and development of mutual relations. Since 2016, Olivia Cooltura has been carrying out m.in. a series of chamber and classical music concerts, Olivia Camerata; Inspiring meetings with authors are also organized. So far, the guests of the latter have been m.in. Marek Kamiński, Magdalena Grzebałkowska, Paweł Tkaczyk, Aleksandra Pogorzelska and Anna Miotk.

With the start of the St. Dominic’s Fair – one of the oldest and the biggest fair and exhibition events in Europe –
socio-educational project called “Choose Gdańsk. For living and working”
organised by Gdańsk Global Foundation begins. Olivia Business Centre proudly supports the action. The project is to tell us a few words about the potential of Gdańsk by presenting its strong sides and hard arguments speaking in favour of them, and presenting people who decided to make Gdańsk their home. They chose this place for living and working. The project is being co-ordinated under the honorary patronage of the President of the City of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz.

– We, Gdańsk residents, love our city and we know very well why – says
Jarosław Śmigiel
, marketing director at Olivia Business Centre. – Now we want to convince others that it is a wonderful place not only for living, but also for working. It is a good place to establish lasting ties for many years or maybe for the whole life, also professional one.

The project focuses on key issues for people who consider relocation, like comfort of life, education, work, health, sport, culture and art, social integration, innovativeness and entrepreneurship.

During St. Dominic’s Fair you can look out for some other interesting facts and data concerning Gdańsk, which confirm that it is an ideal place for living and working.

Thanks to the cooperation with Gdańsk International Fair, the project will reach, according to organisers’ calculations, more than one and a half million people (from outside Gdańsk) who visit St. Dominic’s Fair. The arguments for living in Gdańsk appear, among other things, in information and advertisement media promoting this unique event for the city.

, on which, among other things, information and interesting facts about the city, as well as profiles of people who chose this place for living and working will be presented, is dedicated to the initiative “Choose Gdańsk”. The informative action will be held also on Facebook and Instagram. The start of this project’s edition will be accompanied by the change of its visual identification. New logo and visual identification system were developed by Linia2 Agency.
