Business Opportunities in Asia

Start your journey to success in Asia

Asia is home to many leading technology companies and a driving force globally in areas such as automotive, semiconductors, and digital technology. It is also increasingly a region where innovation and R&D is conducted for the global market. In addition, half of the global manufacturing value comes from Asia. It is therefore an important market for companies offering (or wanting to utilize) B2B solutions, OEM, as well as advanced manufacturing possibilities.

The upcoming seminar in Lund aims to inform and strengthen Swedish companies’ understanding of the business opportunities in Asia.

We will share lessons from other SMEs, identify ways to succeed in Asia, and teach you how to deal with business cultural differences that are often seen as major obstacles. Participants will also gain insight into the export support available to succeed in Asia – including: export checks, subsidies, delegation trips, and practical support in finding the right business partners. We also offer individual coaching to support you in your Asian export.
