Dear Trade Academy participants,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to this different – digital Trade Academy.

We are so happy that it is finally happening! That against all obstacles we are making this attempt for you to complete the program and for us to transform it and adjust it to the new reality that the world is facing today. It will probably not be perfect, but we will do the best we possibly can.

Naturally, in order to enable the digital makeover of Trade Academy, we needed to make some adjustments in terms of format and content of the programme. The most painful adjustment is that we will not be able to meet each other in person this time. Even worse, that we will have to divide you into groups in line with the geographical and time zone location. This means that you will only be meeting some of your colleagues in the coming sessions, but not all of them….We are, however, planning to facilitate a digital meeting for all of us at a later stage. We are also developing an alumni network that will help you and the previous groups of Trade Academists keep in touch, get together, discuss, learn and exchange experiences.
