International business forums offer Ukrainian companies valuable opportunities for growth, integration into the global economy, and establishing connections with potential partners and investors. Participating in such events becomes a strategically important step for businesses seeking to expand their operations abroad. Ukrainian companies can expect powerful networking opportunities at business forums. Events like the Kyiv International Economic Forum (KIEF) Kyiv International Economic Forum bring together businesses, government, and civil society representatives worldwide. These are venues where strategic partners can be found, other companies' experiences explored, and long-term connections established to help expand businesses and strengthen their positions in the international market. In addition to networking, Ukrainian entrepreneurs gain access to new knowledge. International forums provide a unique opportunity to learn about current global trends, technological innovations, and best practices that can help companies adapt to changes in the business environment. For example, the "Business Without Paper" forum highlights successful cases of business digitalization that can inspire ideas for your projects and initiatives. Moreover, Ukrainian companies can look forward to discovering new opportunities for attracting investments. A forum serves as a platform where investors seek promising companies for collaboration, which is particularly relevant for Ukrainian businesses aiming to secure funding for development amidst economic challenges. Ukrainian companies must prepare for each forum in advance to succeed at such events. Researching the program and critical speakers will help plan time effectively, while a clear presentation of the company and its offerings will increase the chances of attracting partner interest. Business cards and prepared marketing materials will enable company representatives to leave a strong impression and build a positive brand image. International business forums are places for exchanging experiences and opportunities for Ukrainian companies to find partners, attract investments, and expand their businesses beyond Ukraine.

🔴 The Economic and Commercial Office's pivotal role in the Malta-Spain Business Event 🔴 Last week, on Tuesday, April 15, the Maltese-Spanish Chamber of Commerce hosted a pivotal business event, "Doing Business with Spain," generously supported by the #SpanishEmbassy. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Economic and Commercial Office in Rome for their invaluable contribution to this event's success. 🌟 The role of Oficina Económica y Comercial de la Embajada de España en Roma, Albania, Malta y San Marino was central in orchestrating this forum, which has proven instrumental in strengthening the commercial bonds between Spain and Malta. These gatherings are not just about exchanging ideas; they are about building lasting, robust business relationships. 💼 Their involvement is essential, providing a platform for businesses to explore expansion opportunities and learn about critical resources necessary for success in #internationalmarkets, including regulatory advice and networking prospects. 🤝 In seeking feedback from the Economic and Commercial Office, we asked if events like “Doing Business with Spain” contribute to strengthening relations between entrepreneurs from Spain and Malta. Their response was emphatic: “Yes, these events are crucial for fostering business relationships between Spain and Malta. They offer a dedicated space for business leaders from both countries to meet, exchange ideas, and establish meaningful connections.”🚀 The presence of institutions such as the Maltese-Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Economic and Commercial Office provides valuable support and backing, creating a conducive environment for business expansion and the exploration of new business opportunities.✔️ Furthermore, the support of these institutions at such events offers entrepreneurs a sense of security and support in their internationalization efforts. Events are a prime opportunity to disseminate information about services and resources vital for success in foreign markets, including advice on local regulations, networking opportunities, and promotional activities.🔎 After interviewing Spanish and Maltese entrepreneurs, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. There is a palpable commitment among these companies to overcome challenges and seize the opportunities presented by the Maltese market. Internationalization might be daunting, but the determination and adaptability of Spanish companies are commendable, enabling them to position themselves in new territories successfully.💼 Stay tuned for more updates and insights by following us!🔗

🇩🇪 Building Bridges: Ukrainian Female Entrepreneurs met in Berlin with Verband deutscher Unternehmerinnen e.V. (VdU)!  🇺🇦 Ten Ukrainian female entrepreneurs, all leading their own SMEs, set out to their "Landing Pad Trip" to enter the German market. Their journey took them to Berlin, where they connected with experienced members of the VdU – Internationale Kommission | Verband deutscher Unternehmerinnen e.V., Olena Makeieva and Pamela Stenzel for a workshop unlike any other. 🤝 "Local knowledge is gold," they concluded, emphasizing the importance of insider tips and experience sharing for a smooth market entry. This workshop, organized under the umbrella of the International Mentoring Program: Ukrainian Women in Business, provided just that. Supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and coordinated by enpact, the program aims to help companies to create export plans for the EU market. During the workshop, a German-Ukrainian VdU tandem introduced the participants to the German business environment, covering topics like regional differences (Länder), SME (Mittelstand) partnerships, trade fairs, and building trust (underestimated by foreign companies). The Ukrainian entrepreneurs represented sectors as diverse as food, automotive, fashion, IT and services, and the discussions were rich and insightful, including concrete feedback on individual pitches, which the participants greatly appreciated. 🏆 The golden takeaways for a successful market entry: ✔ Define your USPs and target local audiences. ✔ Adapt your offerings to local market demands. ✔ Explore new distribution channels. Participants enjoyed a tasting of Ukrainian fermented "Fresh Black Coffee" ☕ by Poltavets Kseniia, and the amazed audience learned that coffee can have a complexity of flavours that rivals even the finest wines. Sharing is caring, and this cross-border connection is a beautiful testament to empowering each other's entrepreneurial journeys in new markets!   🚀 #VdU_International #VdU4Europe

In case you care for some light reading, take a gander at my latest interview I've given ahead of my participation in the upcoming conference "Dobitna formula" (Winning Formula) which will be held on March 21, 2024 in the Dalmatian town of Sinj.

🌍 Why is this page about international cooperation mostly in Dutch? And what does “Buiten de Bubbel” even mean?! Buiten de Bubbel is all about bridging gaps and bringing the outside world closer to the Netherlands and our fellow dutchies. Our mission? To showcase the incredible opportunities and innovations that exist beyond our borders and beyond our own respective bubbles—hence the name, which roughly translates to “Beyond the Bubble.”   Living in the Netherlands, we’ve observed a number of misconceptions about Africa and other regions in the world, which can be quite frustrating. These misunderstandings often stem from the bubbles we all live in — if our friends, family, and neighbours believe something to be true, it must be true right? Yet, whenever I share the incredible developments and opportunities I’ve witnessed in places like India, Ethiopia, or Mozambique, it ignites enthusiasm and transforms people’s perceptions about the world!   The key is speaking in the same language. —both literally (in Dutch, which is why this page is primarily in Dutch) and figuratively. What unites us? Where do our interests intersect? It’s thrilling to discover new places and ideas that you may have never heard of before! Basically we provide an exciting travel story while also exploring the incredible innovations in the countries we cross. It’s our personal effort to get rid of those negative misconceptions, but we will need your help to do so. 🤝   Through Buiten de Bubbel we’ll document inspiring organizations, projects, businesses, and initiatives as we journey from the Netherlands to Mozambique. Many of these stories will feature links to the Netherlands to resonate with our Dutch audience, but that’s not a requirement. Some initiatives may be founded, funded, or supported by Dutch entities, while others may be completely unfamiliar with our tiny country in Europe. We will strive to balance these narratives to highlight local initiatives and entrepreneurship. Are you along our route and want to showcase your activities to a wider Dutch audience? Or do you have recommendations for must-see people or projects along the way? Let’s connect and break those bubbles together! 💦✨   Send us an email on: info@buitendebubbel.nl and perhaps we will see you soon. 🚙
