Starting on September 10th, the first of a five-episode series on Internationalisation and SMEs will begin.
Â
This series aims to shed light on various aspects of internationalisation, focusing on important markets in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. It targets SMEs in the UK and Europe.
Â
Â
What is internationalisation?
Â
Internationalisation can be viewed from both a business and an economic perspective.
Â
Translating a website into multiple languages exemplifies a business’s internationalisation effort.
Â
In economics terms, however, internationalisation involves a company expanding its footprint and capturing greater market share by entering international markets.
Â
Â
Internationalising a company requires careful planning but it is feasible for any SME that is willing to grow.
Â
Â
During COVID-19, many SMEs without an online presence launched online stores. As the pandemic progressed, these businesses saw exponential growth in customer volume, value, and geographical reach.
Â
However, many professionals faced these challenges unprepared, rushing to maximise resources, optimise costs, and increase revenue.
Â
Internationalisation goes beyond pandemic-driven luck; it demands careful planning, strategic budgeting, and practical experience.
Â
Â
To support SMEs in navigating this complex landscape, we’ve gathered our experts to launch a series of webinars that demystify internationalisation.
Â
These webinars go beyond buzzwords and generic advice, offering practical insights for real-world application.
