EUGLOH Business Talk with Sonae

Our EUGLOH Business Talks are especially designed for EUGLOH students to get in touch with companies. After a short input from the company, the participating students have the chance to ask all the questions they may have. The Business Talks are moderated by a student and are a unique opportunity to get to know a company in an informal setting. We recommend the participants to actively ask your questions.
