WTCW Central European Business Mission

 

Mission Description
The World Trade Center will lead a business mission to Central Europe in June 2007. The delegation will travel together from the U.S. to Vienna (Austria) and from there have the option to visit Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), and Prague (Czech Republic) with the possibility of continuing to Warsaw (Poland).

The mission will include representatives from local companies interested in exploring firsthand what options may exist, pursuing business leads and opportunities, as well as personally seeing the current business environment in these countries.

The WTC will provide companies a quick and practical channel into the Central European marketplace. The WTC, together with its network in Europe, will arrange one-on-one business meetings in each city visited and provide important insights into understanding, and operating in, each country’s culture. This ensures our business representatives a well-balanced, cost- effective, and productive business mission.




Mission Goals
The objective of this mission is to introduce local companies to the Central European business climate. The mission will assist local companies in exploring the existence of market opportunities and facilitate their ability to determine if these countries may provide an appropriate growth strategy for their operations.

This mission is ideal for those looking to investigate the market environment, build relationships in country, find joint venture partners, explore strategic alliance opportunities, meet distributors, and experience the market opportunities personally.
