What we can do for you
Market Studies
If you have not yet decided on a new market for your business, we can provide you with a study that compares different commercial opportunities for your business. This study targets several countries and will allow you to identify relevant markets for your activities.
Once you have decided on the market you wish to develop, CIC teams can provide you with information on a specific sector, test your product's positioning, analyse the local competition and distribution channels.
Partner Selection
We provide you with a short-list of main local players tailored to your needs and requests.
As a next step, our teams can help you select and contact commercial/industrial partners and investors and facilitate your negotiations.
Assistance in Setting up Operations
Once you have decided to expand to a new market, we can assist in setting up a local entity and search for business locations.
Working together with local lawyers, we provide support to help you understand the local regulations. Finally, once you have laid the foundations for your new business, we can assist you in recruiting employees.
