The 2018 Henokiens Annual Congress, which took place in Munich (Germany) from 27 June to 1st July 2018 saw the following highlights:

The Henokiens Association General Meeting

The key points:

• The President of the Henokiens, Tokuichi Okaya, welcomed the entry to the Association of a new Japanese member, the company Yamamotoyama (1690) and said that it has set itself the goal of welcoming a new member each year during his term. He also thanked the new board members for accompanying him in his mission (Willem van Eeghen- Bob de Kuyper / Vice Presidents, Giovanni Aldinio Colbachini / President of the Italian Section, Christophe Viellard / Treasurer, Julian von Möller / Next Gen Responsible and Anne-Sophie Catherineau / Next Gen Representative).
• The company Yamamotoyama made a presentation of its activities as well as another Japanese member, the company Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten (1716).
• The vice President of the Association, Willem van Eeghen, indicates to the Assembly that, seeing the growing number of membership applications likely to meet the membership criteria (still fairly lax), the board wishes to strengthen the rules for application by giving a priority to companies whose activities are representative of a specific and unique business, regardless its size and/or companies from countries where there are no member as yet.
• "Project Compendium" of the Association (writing and compilation of Henokiens member case studies): 12 studies have been achieved so far (Gekkeikan, Toraya, Yamasa, Hoshi, VMC, Van Eeghen, Friedr.Schwarze, Garbellotto, Hottinguer, Revol, Catherineau an d Mellerio) and 2 new cases are in preparation (Amarelli and Pollet). Simultaneously, INSEAD is finalizing the Super Case n°2 on the Henokiens, a research aiming to bring together a set of mini-cases of members on various topics pre-defined by INSEAD. In addition a booklet will be made giving a concise and compressed version of the case studies produced so far. This eventually may be ordered by our members for their own use as well as for free distribution to business partners, relatives and friends.
• The next Henokiens General Meeting will take place during the 2019 Henokiens Congress which will be organized in London by the member C.Hoare & Co.
