Area of Project Activity
/ brief description
One of the most important targets
of Europe Chambers of Commerce – Foreign Trade Departments
– is to support the internationalization and the development
of businesses especially for SME members of the Chambers.
It is a main challenge to the Syrian Chambers’ foreign
trade departments to explore the potentials for supporting
new Syrian producers and industries in their way to export
to EC-countries.
Activity of the EC and MEDA Chamber partners
is designed to achieve a more balanced level of markets knowledge
and skills necessary to obtain best-possible results in different
and sometimes rather difficult markets of EC-countries. The
first instrument chosen to exchange experience in EC-Marketing
is the internal workshop with the participants in Syria.
A Syrian organized
business meeting with Syrian entrepreneurs shall follow. EC-partner
Chambers will offer their services for introducing goods to
appropriate EC business partners.
Second part of the Export desk project will be organizing
two business meetings “Syrian Business” in Rotterdam
and in Augsburg/Swabia focusing in information about business
mentality and different intercultural approaches.
