What's new?

Osec has engaged IDO to provide hands-on training to win contracts with the main International Financial Institutions (IFIs) to interested Swiss companies.  The training sessions are free of charge and were held in September, October and November 2011.  

With nearly 25 years of experience working with the IFIs, IDO provided each registered company representative with 60-90 minutes of one-on-one training, tailored to the specific capabilities and business objectives of each company.

Additional training sessions are currently in planning for 2012.
