What is the future for local businesses in Nyon and the surrounding area?

Once a year Uniglobal Union hold a big debate in the centre of Nyon under the headline "Et Maintenant?/ And Now?" These debates are free and open to the public and have covered a wide range of subjects over the years; from discussing the themes of liberty and security, to the consequences of fast growth in the region, to a debate with young people . The subjects discussed are usually of interest to the local population and this year is no exception as the debate this year is entitled "Global Economy/ Local Economy". The discussion will be on the challenges that local businesses face in the modern global economy. With the changes in the buying habits of modern consumers, how can small businesses cope, how can a town attract a variety of retail outlets and how can shops and businesses create customer loyalty?  What can the local towns in this area do to encourage more footfall? Living in Nyon will be at this debate, if you have a question or a suggestion on the subject that you would like to put to the round table discussion, feel free to send it to info@livinginnyon.com and if possible, we will ask the question or put forward the suggestion on your behalf.  If you would like to attend the debate in person, it will take place on Thursday October 1st from 19:00 - 22:00 at the Uniglobal Union building.
