Company Pools
Entering foreign markets as a common approach will save resources and cut costs. In addition, combined offers of cooperating companies are able to win customers in a faster and more targeted way.
We represent company pools with different characteristics and levels of intensity in their cooperation. These include, for example, networks with other suppliers within a sector, with partners from science or partnerships along a value chain (producers and suppliers). Frequently a successful domestic cooperation within a cluster or network already exists. The common objective always is to improve opportunities for internationalization and to increase their visibility in the new market.
We offer special and attractive conditions for company pools. Please take a closer look here.
