Of the recipient regions, Europe accounted for 13.3% and the United States, 8.2%. Along with geo-political risks, insufficient financing, and other custom regulations, we are also plagued by the current distress of our major exporting partners – the EU and US. Recent uncertainties within these regions have undoubtedly raised questions of liquidity and fears of credit defaults. However, the need for continued growth exists even in tough times. A well thought-out export and/or expansion direction will improve the efficiency of resources employed exponentially. These policies should ideally be based on informed market options that fit your organisation’s overall goals, augment strengths and complement weaknesses. This seminar seeks to address global geopolitical issues with an emphasis on the EU and US in order to define your export and expansion objectives and acquaint participants with support schemes available from both public-private sectors.
