Internationalisation Workshop

For companies wanting to gain a foothold on international markets, strategy and action are of equal importance. Above all, attention to detail in the planning phase is crucial. Small yet highly relevant details must be taken into consideration. In other words, successful internationalisation - whether in sales or purchasing - is a process of small steps. It must be approached with care, taking the necessary actions at the right time. Many medium-sized companies in Dortmund have successfully built up their foreign business, whilst others are still in the starting blocks. An internationalisation workshop is planned for Dortmund in the form of a series of events entitled "International Business", where interested companies can swap stories and learn from the practical experiences of others. The internationalisation workshop is the only platform of its kind in Germany, provided by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

Dortmund companies which have had a taste of "international success" will meet up for a snack and a chat to compare notes. Short and sweet, at a local company. The result: impetus and a transfer of knowledge.

The internationalisation workshop lasts for 90 minutes. After a snack (half an hour), the host will report on his or her experiences of internationalisation, followed by a lecture by an expert. The afternoon is rounded off with a discussion and further commentaries.

Participants will take home valuable tips and practical ideas for internationalising their own companies. They will become acquainted with successful methods and suitable techniques which they can apply in their companies. The aim is to pinpoint the best ways of tapping international markets which will lead companies to profitable growth.
