A case-study and fascinating insights into the latest material science technologies - the first day at the production plant and TechniKomm science center of Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) was an exciting opportunity to learn about the Asia-related business of this distinguished partner of SPAIR-Germany for years.
Pointing the spot on international relations, the second day began with a paper presentation on the perspectives of ASEAN. The seminar closed with a speech on ‚Global Sourcing‘ and a presentation on the McKinsey Asia House.
