Participating in the E-Commerce Trends event from Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Lower Bavaria with Martin Himmel as moderator was again an eye-opening, especially getting insights from local businesses in Passau and Munich. Here are some of my key takeaways from the day: ➡️ Resilience is key: launching a business demands a lot of resilience. I know because I have three businesses at this moment. And with Beesiness UG we have our challenges with the MVP running, it's an e-commerce platform. However, it's motivating to see the challenges that other businesses also go or have been through, big ones. It's crucial to face the challenges and setbacks that come your way. ➡️ Germany's business tradition: witnessing a sixth-generation family business in action highlighted Germany's strong tradition in entrepreneurship. It underscores the stability and longevity that can come from such a heritage. I love that. Creating business continuity between generations requires a lot of strategic planning. It's really not easy. I look up to such companies. ➡️ Networking matters: networking proved its worth yet again. I connected with a valuable contact who will be evaluating our e-commerce platform, Beesiness. I've already scheduled the assessment, and thanks to IHK, it comes at no cost to me. Thanks for that! I enjoyed it a lot. IHK congrats for the organisation. #ecommerce #BusinessInsights #Networking

The World is a Big Place: Why We Value International Partnerships The world is vast, and business practices can vary greatly across borders. At every call with potential partners of Gemini Commerce, I highlight one simple thing: We recognize the importance of cultural nuances, language, customs, and etiquette in building successful relationships. And we recognize that these intricacies can't be mastered overnight. Navigating them independently would be a long and complex journey. I mean, I spent almost 7 years in UNIs trying but still know just a fraction. That's exactly why we prioritize fostering strong international partnerships. Our partners provide invaluable local expertise, allowing us to: -Connect with people on a deeper level across the globe. -Avoid potential pitfalls caused by cultural misunderstandings. -Build trust and rapport through genuine interactions. Through these partnerships, we're bridging the gap and fostering meaningful connections that drive international success. #globalcommerce #internationalbusiness #partnerships #ecommerce #culture

🌍✨ Finding my place, one experience at a time ✨🌍 As a Bulgarian living in Denmark, navigating my twenties, and growing in my career, there are definitely moments that feel uncertain. But there are also those that open doors, broaden horizons, and make it all worth it. Yesterday was one of those moments. I had the privilege of representing Channable at the iconic Ehandelskonferencen, hosted by the Danish Chamber of Commerce Dansk Erhverv– a quintessentially Danish event where innovation meets tradition. 🇩🇰 ✨ It was an inspiring experience to be surrounded by so many passionate professionals, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠.

But the warmth and support I felt from my team and the people at the event made me feel like 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈’𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞. 🙌🏼 A huge thank you to my team at the event Thomas Wilson, Alexandra Reizer, iEva Lauridsen, Rob van Nuenen, Mahtab Neyestani, Steffen 🇳🇴🇩🇰 Langgård Jørgensen, Lora Atanasova and Veronica Hellman for being simply awesome and for having me :) <3 You never know where the journey might take you, or who you'll meet along the way. 🌍✈️ 💡 What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone trying to find their place in a new country or industry?

I was speaking at the Finnish-Swedish Chamber of Commerce (FINSVE) conference about new market entry today 🔥 Thank you to the organisers for a big crowd and a fantastic event! Thank you also to my fellow speakers, panelists and moderators Nina Ingves, Staffan Snellman, Peter Wiklöf, Kjell Skoglund, Camilla Wikman, Hannah Malkamäki, Robin Tallberg, Jokinen Janne, Kristian Schrey, Joel Sunabacka & Tua Takasu! I gained new insights and ideas from you! One of the main points in my talk was: "No one should ever feel any remorse because we tried and failed, but one should feel remorse because we took too long to realise we had already failed." Business is always risky but without trying you will also never succeed. No risk it, no biscuit. Fail fast and try again. One of the most important things about our company culture is that we have cultivated a high level of trust in our organisation. People trust that failing will not result in punishment, ridicule or sour moods. Therefore, we also dare to try! Courage is another key value for us which drives our innovation and growth. New market entry is not cheap. You need to be courageous and have the right resources in place! Otherwise you will either set yourself up for testing something else entirely than the market or you will end up paying a little bit over a long period because you think your low-cost failure might succeed the next year! New market entry is risky but it is also the biggest potential driver of growth for any Finnish business! We are a small country of 5,5 million people and our market potential is very limited. However, our talent and ability to innovate are second to none! Dare to go big! Dare to go international!
