Cooperation with US Metals requires close communication and coordination of strategies in the energy and petrochemical markets. In Houston, at the headquarters of US Metals, a two-day workshop was held with the aim of intensifying the collaboration and discussions on a number of opportunities in global markets.

The goal of EPDOR's participation in Manchester wasn't just B2B meetings, but also to share experiences with British colleagues about the development of markets for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. EPDOR has been seriously paying attention to the topic. For selected Czech and Slovak companies EDPOR considers the area of decommissioning of nuclear plants as very promising, both in the context of Europe and the CEE region. https://www.decommsupplyevent.co.uk/    

An important milestone for the product Summa was the workshop in Bratislava in October, at the Carlton hotel, under the topic “The role of the CFO on the top of the technology wave”. The conclusion of the workshop was clearly in favor of the innovation and new approaches to the financial management company. EPDOR is convinced that Summa makes good sense, especially for Czech companies focused on export markets. Pavel Kamenický, former expert at EPDOR and ex-CFO, also took part in this workshop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duyyuq6prms

EPDOR attended a Czech-French business meeting on the subject of nuclear energy and industry, which took place on 19th of September 2016 at the French embassy in Prague. During the meeting Czech companies were presented and  B2B meetings were held with the French partners. EPDOR is convinced that the Czech Republic cannot remain isolated in their business activities and this type of meeting certainly meets the goal of discussing the deepening mutual trade between the Czech and the French industries. At the same time, this leads to a strengthening partnership with regard to export markets outside Europe. In this sense EPDOR works with its clients to significantly support their business activities.  

In the beginning of 2016 EPDOR supported MVV Energie CZ to identify possible business product innovation. Providing value through innovation to the customer must become a theme in every company. The joint project confirmed the sovereign position the customer has in MVV Energie CZ. This project validates the need to create new customer solutions for future development of energy markets.
