Media Partner:

Europe’s leading business monthly. Now produced in conjunction with CNBC Europe.

CNBC EUROPEAN BUSINESS represents the alignment of two like-minded media brands committed to the business of doing business across Europe: CNBC European Business is a magazine about European businesses, for European readers, while CNBC Europe is the only pan-European television network devoted to financial and business news. Globalisation is the inevitable backdrop, yet viewed as such, Europe assumes greater coherence as a single market than at any point in its long history. CNBC European Business is a product of that reality.

In 2006 we capitalise on our combined editorial strength, access to top executives and marketing reach to do more to meet the information needs of our high-powered business readers – the same five million monthly viewers who watch CNBC Europe.

We offer Europe-wide reviews pinpointing the shifting tectonic plates of the business landscape; CEO profiles that dig deeper than the dailies, and a classy back section crammed with alternative investments, mutual fund analysis, breaking property tips and a decent slug of style and product reviews on the assumption that there is more to life than work. For 2006, you find CNBC European Business brimming with additional substance in the form of country reports focusing on the fastest-growing European economies from Iceland to Poland, plus sector reports ranging from real estate to executive aviation, private equity, hedge funds and technology.

CNBC Europe Affiliate TV Partners:
