Russia is perhaps a more surprising business destination. Traditionally seen as a enigmatic country, recently businesses have started to discover its true potential. In 2018, the next FIFA World Cup will be hosted here and event management company Galakitka offers some of the most exclusive and prestigious MICE facilities. The economically active population of both Moscow and St Petersburg combined, which is in excess of 11 million, will generate excellent publicity for any business or brand.

For businesses that want to go further afield for a team building meeting or event, Peru is a more unusual location that is often overlooked.

One more largely overlooked area for businesses and events is central Maine USA, which is a growing logistics hub between New York, Boston and Quebec. In addition, European companies looking to expand in the North Eastern USA coast can get all the direction and assistance they need from the Kennebec Regional Development Authority, a one stop shop that caters and supports firms going through the investment process. Maine is among the top ten for economic growth in 2017, making it a very attractive business and events location.

With the main source of power in Greenland being hydroelectricity, this gives it the capacity to be developed to support large mining operations. Greenland also aims to make petroleum and mineral resources one of its primary industries in the future and provide new opportunities for the oil and minerals industry backed up by a large workforce and infrastructure.

This cosmopolitan city and the capital of Ireland employs nearly 200,000 people working for international companies – this is testament to the quality of life that the Irish capital offers. The Dublin Port, which is situated in the heart of the city, provides a gateway to Europe, and current projects are underway to transform the port’s ability to handle larger ships and increased trade volumes.
