The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is organising a trade mission to France in February for eight Ukrainian light industry companies, funded by the European Union as part of its EU4Business initiative. Companies have until 21 November to apply.
The trade mission will take place from 12-13 February 2019, and is aimed at exploring the French market and the specifics of doing business there, trends in light industry and retail, as well as holding B2B meetings with potential customers.
This mission will include:
- Establishing B2B contacts: the programme of meetings will be developed individually in cooperation with a professional French business advisor.
