The meetings

Each one of the companies of this exporting group attended this fair with contacts already set by Barcelona Export, so that they could make the most of their visit, and speed up the process of acquiring new business possibilities.

New business opportunities

Once all the interviews were over, we seized the opportunity of visiting the Fair to look directly for new business opportunities on the fair itself, and introduce the products to stands with the most interesting profile of making new business.

We also could identify the trends of the market and what was the perception that French companies had about Catalan products. In fact we were able to analyze the competition and the adequacy between the packaging of our clients and the market’s expectations.
