Markeplace of Ideas

The TCA  attached great importance to “open dialog” to go further through renewing and progressing with collective efforts. The means of open dialog were in the spirit of the Congress as well as in the event of “Marketplace of Ideas” which provided an invaluable opportunity to come together for exchanging ideas and experiences and to encourage members to propose topics for discussion and to share their opinions more actively which in turn aimed to involve them in strategic plan’s future operationalization.The Marketplace of Ideas took place on Wednesday 24th May 2017 during the Xth Congress, with a duration of two and a half hours, where the main topics were discussed through various formats, such as breakout sessions, discussions in plenary sessions or “supply and demand” information stands (where either members looking for partners for specific projects or those willing to provide support and expertise in certain areas could announce it).The Marketplace created an enabling environment for the related parties to communicate new ideas and initiatives. Since Marketplace of Ideas is a dynamic event, informal discussions continued in the Foyer where various stands, tables, information points and posters of the various members such as candidate SAIs for GB membership as well as next Presidency, EUROSAI Secretariat, Goal Teams, WGs and TFs etc. were available.
