25 Years of International Business Congress
In 2022, the International Business Congress (IBC) celebrates its 25th anniversary.
During its twenty-five-year history, the IBC has been consistently developing effective mechanisms to secure interaction between representatives of business communities around the world. At present, eight Working Committees of the Congress work successfully on a permanent basis. They bring together a total of more than 100 companies and organizations. The International Business Congress has proven its resilience in difficult economic conditions and continues its activities, providing a platform for business meetings and open discussions.
We would like to recall all the milestones of the IBC history. Short articles covering biggest IBC events and major decisions taken over the period of 1997-2022 will be published on the website on a weekly basis.
