Country Specialist Support: Enterprises may benefit from the expertise of the specialists who will support them to carry out preliminary assessments of their plans of investment or expansion in a particular country.

Participation in Fairs: Participation at International trade fairs are a unique and rewarding experience.  Participation will undoubtedly allow enterprises to reap a number of benefits since they will be able to experience the market on a first hand basis, discover new insights, and establish potential business partners.
