Support for the internationalization of companies
Once your company is created, you want to develop your activities, by diversifying them, by extending the means of distribution of products or services, by prospecting new markets or by seizing the opportunities opened up by digitalisation. This section gives you an overview of the opportunities for developing your business internationally.
I want to conquer new markets
In an increasingly globalized economy, the conquest of new markets and the search for reliable partners are among the main challenges in the life of a company.
Exporting, like importing, is an opportunity to develop a company's activity and turnover. Promoting economic and commercial relations with foreign countries and assisting companies in the development of exports of their products and in putting them in contact with potential partners for expansion projects at local, regional and international level, are all services proposed by the World Business Union to facilitate access to new markets.
This support is aimed both at companies that are taking their first steps in exporting, and at more experienced ones that are prospecting new markets or seeking new investors.
The support for the internationalization of WBU is materialized by the provision of a global network and, in the field, by the organization of numerous activities such as economic missions, accompanied visits or the provision of collective stands. at trade fairs abroad, information sessions on all aspects of international trade or the reception of foreign delegations in the various districts of WBU.
All these activities are aimed at stimulating the development of economic and trade relations.
