Presidents Summit 2022, Northern Europe’s leading Business conference, Copenhagen Denmark. Rethinking Business

05 Jun 2022
Actual, Aktuelles, Current news, Europe, GCA on Tour, IFRS

Through adversity we grow and this year’s summit taught to inspire just that; the tools needed to adapt in this vast – changing world and in every step of the way, to grow and draw strength and purpose from what has happened in the past. 

The PS provided a platform for actionable insights, inspiration and networking with over 2000 meet-ups held per day at the 2021 Summit. Global Connect Consultancy B.V., together with Global Connect Admin B.V.  again this year enriched their professional know-how and built on its vast & steadfast network!

It is the ability to find harmony in the noise and to know there is a safety net when we err. According to Itay Talgam this can be achieved by our ability to recognize and explore gaps, our decision to interpret the plans we create. This speaker is an orchestral conductor who teaches leadership by looking at examples of world leading maestros. In his book The ignorant Maestro Talgam explains that sometimes the best way to stimulate and let people develop their full potential under your direction is to be ignorant. Leaders do not have to be the one who knows everything, but the one who helps his leaders to develop their full potential and to coordinate the team so that those energies flow in a common sense, as happens in a well-assembled orchestra. He teaches his audience not to mind the gaps but to use them.

Other experts on the stage included Daniel Pink, expert on human behavior who aims to teach businesses that regret is both healthy and universal and an integral part of human life. Regret is not abnormal or dangerous, it clarifies what we value and teaches us to be better if we can learn from it.

Dr. Frederik Pferdt, CIE of Google teaches around the central idea that “it’s important to create an environment where everyone is allowed to bring in opinions”. His teachings focus on human mindset and how it channels our inner attitude towards every external event and how to reprogram our negativity bias and start inventing a better future, today.

Noteworthy insights from Linda Hill included inter alia that “most innovations arise from the collision of different ideas, perspectives, and ways of processing emotions”. Organizations are increasingly faced with pressure to innovate, but lack the tools to fuel, inspire and sustain that innovation. In summary the professor teaches her audience to reduce their should’ve and could’ve; be collaborative-ready; develop your successors and paying attention to both scale and speed.

We would like to thank our hosts at this years’ President’s Summit for the outstanding event that was had! Your hospitality is remarkable and the teachings are what we will draw from in the coming year. Thank you!

When you think of printing, you may think of digitalization or paper waste. When you think of 11 November, you might think, “That is just a normal day” or “The 11th of the 11th is once again canceled in Limburg. What a bummer!” For Global Connect Admin, 11 November 2021 was the day to celebrate high-end innovative printing technologies. With the DUJAT Meets Limburg event, we traveled to Venlo to visit the new state-of-the-art Canon headquarter and the Customer Experience Center. But first, what makes this new headquarters so unique, and why invest in Limburg?

Limburg and innovation

Limburg, the southern Dutch province located next to Belgium and Germany, knows several key sectors, such as agri-food, life sciences & health, logistics, chemicals & materials and high-tech systems. Companies and the environment benefit from innovation and growth, with thriving ecosystems around different hotspots. The Dutch are well-known for being fluent in English. In Limburg, it is also prevalent to be native in other languages, such as French and German.

Several sectors have started to cooperate, creating ideal locations in combination with knowledge institutions. In recent years Limburg has grown into a multi-language and intercultural hotspot for many sectors. A prime example is the high-tech systems, making it more inviting for companies to thrive there. Canon, one of the biggest employer of Limburg, is a big player in this integral growth.

Green printing solutions

Canon invited companies to their newest ‘Green Landmark’: The Canon headquarters in Venlo. The location opened in the summer of 2020. However, many companies only recently have the chance to pay a visit. Global Connect Admin and the DUJAT community were one of the first to marvel at the new Canon accommodation. Inside the building are the four Green Plazas that provide an open and inviting atmosphere, ideal for stimulating synergy and exchange of knowledge.

The event

First, Mr. Asada, CEO of Canon, Mr. Leurs, Board Member of DUJAT and Managing Director of Canon Benelux and Mr. van Elk, Director of LIOF, welcomed everyone with a presentation and a tour of the sustainable building.

Secondly, everyone was invited to the Customer Experience Center, where Canon showcases its brand-new innovations for potential clients. During the networking lunch, Mr. de Goeijen, VP BL CTS of Canon, introduced everyone to insights into innovative printing technologies.

Key takeaways: Kyosei 共生

What impressed us the most was the corporate philosophy of Canon. Their philosophy is Kyosei, which translates to “Living and working together for the common good.” This corporate philosophy conveys the dedication to see all people, regardless of culture, customs, language or race, harmoniously living and working together in happiness into the future. Realizing Kyosei is a challenge due to current factors related to economies, resources and the environment. Nonetheless, Canon strives to eliminate difficulties through corporate activities. They believe that a genuinely global company must foster good relations with customers, communities, governments, regions and the environment. Therefore, Canon embraces the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, creating new value while conserving the environment, solving social issues and responding as a responsible corporate citizen.

One of the key takeaways is the San-ji (Three Selfs) Spirit, embracing self-motivation, self-management and self-awareness. We agree that taking the initiative and being proactive is crucial for motivation. To manage your business and yourself well, you need to conduct yourself with responsibility and accountability. Especially with the state of our world, we need to understand our situation and our role in this world.

Conclusion

The printing business is far from dying; it is evolving! The time of paper waste and office buildings swallowing energy like a hungry monster is slowly but surely coming to an end. Suppose you want your company to inspire others, or you want to see a long-term profit. In that case, it does pay off to invest in green energy and innovative solutions. It is a challenge to evolve your business. However, the good news is that you do not have to take this step alone. Many organizations and sectors, either in Limburg or worldwide, cooperate to find the best possible solutions for companies and society.

We want to thank Canon Production Printing Netherlands, DUJAT and Limburg Investment and Development Company LIOF for hosting this event and introducing us to this innovative location.

Global Connect Admin Tax Workshop für Chinese Companies in the Netherlands

On March 5, the Global Connect Admin Tax Workshop for Chinese Companys in the Netherlands took place in Amsterdam. More than 30 interested participants of Chinese companies based in the Netherlands took part in our seminar “Tax advantages for a Dutch company”. Our tax experts have provided information in Chinese and English on relevant topics of Dutch tax legislation. The focus was on low corporate tax rate, which is still decreasing in recent years, no withholding taxes for interests and royalties, withholding tax for dividends as low as 15% (to Chinese residents is 10%) and possible participation exemption.

Furthermore, the latest news in tax regulations in 2019 was on the agenda: The Global Connect admin team explained to the participants that 19% and 25% in 2019, respectively. The substantive tax will increase, which is 25% in 2019 and the lower VAT rate has increased to 9% in 2019. In addition, it dropped Wealth tax rate insignificantly. Expat settlement has been shortened to 6 years in 2019. A number of innovations that must be observed in the company administration.
