What did it take to bolster up thousands of European companies eager to establish long-lasting business collaborations in Asia?
It all started with EU Gateway | Business Avenues, an initiative implemented and managed by the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments under the Partnership Instrument, that provided entry tickets into notoriously difficult to enter markets like the Republic of Korea, South East Asia, Japan, and China.
53 EU-funded business missions and 24,000 pre-arranged B2B meetings later, 98% of the participating companies would apply again to an EU-funded business mission focused on nine crucial sectors, and benefit from a range of business support services, which include coaching, logistical, and financial support.
