Finding local support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are an SME that could do with some assistance with finding markets to sell your solutions overseas, there is no shortage of help and resources to be utilised. As well as what we offer at BusinessOulu, there are a range of organisations that can provide support in the form of grants under the provision that they are used explicitly for taking your product or solution into new territories. Not only that, but they can also share practical advice and guidance courtesy of experienced and knowledgeable experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One example is ELY-Keskus Pohjois-Pohjanmaa (or the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment in North Ostrobothnia, to give it its English name). From this public body, we will be welcoming Sari Turtiainen, <\/strong>(Business Specialist) who will shine a light on what services are available right now for companies looking to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One prominent underlying theme that is playing a role in investments right now is sustainability. There is no denying that a dramatic increase in the efforts by companies of all sizes to be economically responsible is necessary. Furthermore, if investors are prioritising green credentials more thoroughly in their funding decisions, the ability to have an environmentally-friendly solution and\/or an ethos to operate responsibly is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be very difficult to know where to begin but, once initial steps have been implemented, there are substantial benefits to adopting greener methodologies. Tanja R\u00e5man <\/strong>from TaikaBox will be delivering an eye-opening presentation on how they have changed some of their processes to develop a model of working that aims to reduce their own omissions, the challenges that arose from this project, and the opportunities available to all kinds of businesses through being sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst everyone\u2019s roadmap towards global markets will look different, a common truth is that getting your name out there at trade fairs and exhibitions is an important step in finding success. In regards to spreading the good word about your product\/service to new audiences, this is one of the most key components of the entire selling process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the right amount of planning and preparation, as well as co-operation, these experiences can be enormously beneficial for startups and scaleups, even for those operating on tight budgets. We\u2019re delighted that Ronja Brown<\/strong>, Project & Business Development Manager at Wulff Entre, will be able to share practical strategies and proven tactics on how SMEs can leverage B2B these events to their advantage and maximize their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe value in sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
