CELEBRATING THE 100TH ISSUE OF BUSINESS ARENA As the world is still coming to grips with the new realities of a global pandemic, trying to adapt to these unprecedented times, we welcome a special, happy milestone: our 100th issue of Business Arena Magazine. Launched just as the global financial crisis was setting in, our magazine has seen a rough ride, while high production costs and dwindling advertising revenues have forced many newspapers and magazines to migrate online and end their printed versions to save money. In spite of a difficult start, this experienced team has showed tremendous dedication, creativity, and passion to produce a top-quality product for readers and business partners alike. Moreover, the same team used its expertise in business event planning and organization to create new platforms for the local business community to get together, exchange views, and voice hopes and concerns. From roundtable conferences focusing on foreign investment to major awards galas, Business Arena’s events have become unmissable dates in the business event calendar. But none of these could have been achieved without its readers and business partners,
