For this new edition of the Export Talk-Shows, we focus on international expansion with an exclusive spotlight on royal economic missions. These missions offer an unparalleled showcase for Brussels companies ready to stand out in foreign markets.
The program includes practical advice, winning strategies, and concrete experiences around three key questions:
-
How to stand out during a royal economic mission?
-
How to maximize the benefits after participation?
-
What are the long-term economic impacts?
Three Brussels companies — Dugardyn & Partners Lawfirm, A2M and Seco — will share their inspiring journeys and tangible benefits gained from participating in royal economic missions, alongside our representatives in Turkey, Uruguay, and Brazil.
