The 15 participants from the Executive MBA program jointly offered with Almaty Management University (ALMU) visited MSM for their European Attachment from 13 July – 25 July 2015. Apart from following two courses, they visited Philips Customer Visit Center and the Gulpener Brewerey.

At Philips Customer Visit Center the participants enjoyed a presentation of Philips HealthTech demonstrating the developments in innovative solutions across the continuum of health – from healthy living, prevention, to diagnosis, treatment, recovery and home care. During the tour of the showroom the participants could experience the health innovations themselves.
