BALTIC BUSSINESS CLUB
About the Baltic Business Club The Baltic Business Club is a non-commercial organisation. Its members represent a variety of small and medium sized businesses (SMEs), from across Kaliningrad region. The Club was established by representatives of more than 30 SMEs (now it includes 70 members). The founders of the Сlub are graduates of the training-consulting program 'Develop your Business'. This program was organized by the Kaliningrad International Business Institute (KIBI). These individuals decided that it was necessary and extremely useful to maintain contacts with one another after the course had finished. Therefore, originally the Club was created to serve as an informal association for discussing the common problems and interests of this sector, as well as an opportunity for members to discuss new management.
The first meeting was held on June 20, 1997 in hotel "Rus" (Svetlogorsk). At this meeting the charter of Club was confirmed, a Council of Elders was elected and the schedule for 1997-1998 was decided. Almost one and a half years after this initial meeting, in November, 1998, the Club's members decided to register the club as a non-commercial partnership.
One of the main aims of the Club is to work towards improving the legislative base, upon which business activity in Kaliningrad must develop and prosper.
The aims and tasks of Club The main aim of the Baltic Business Club is to support the development of a new wave of managers, with a strong emphasis on new business practices and high standards of professionalism.
