Presentation HOSTA Report 2019

On September 10, 2019, the 41st edition of the HOSTA report was presented during the Horwath HTL Hotel Event. The theme of the afternoon was “the usefulness of predictions and projections”. The event took place in the circular pavilion Circl in Amsterdam and was made possible in part by partners ABN AMRO and Baker McKenzie.
