On February 18, a conference on foreign economic activity "Export is easy" was held at the regional Congress Hall! The event was held in a hybrid format: face-to-face and online.
The event was organized by the Omsk Region Export Support Center, which is a structural unit of the My Business Service Center. The Center carries out its activities within the framework of the national projects "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative" and "International cooperation and export".
The conference brought together both existing exporters and those entrepreneurs who are just considering such a business path for themselves. The online format has erased the boundaries of interpersonal communication and the logistical obstacles of the participants and speakers of the event. Remotely, as well as face-to-face, participants could ask their questions to top experts in the field of foreign economic activity.
"Stimulating non-primary exports is one of the main national priorities in Russia, as well as in the Omsk Region. Many people strive to become exporters. But one desire is not enough to enter foreign markets. We need to prepare for export. You cannot become an exporter without deep knowledge of the fundamentals of foreign economic activity, the necessary legal competencies, strategies and risks of various branches of foreign economic activity. At the conference, the audience received information about important aspects of export activities, learned practical advice from leading experts in this area of activity and identified further business development directions for themselves," the Omsk Region Export Support Center noted.
So, the main topics were: the basics of effective participation in international exhibitions, marketplaces as a springboard for quick access to international markets, 10 steps to export - how to avoid mistakes and fines, how to build B2B sales and wholesale worldwide. Experienced speakers, experts in currency control, practitioners in the field of international sales and electronic commerce taught Omsk entrepreneurs the right approaches and unconventional technologies.
"We are active exporters. We represent CARSYS, a company that develops and manufactures professional measuring instruments for experts in car evaluation. The conference is very interesting for us. I was attracted by the theme of marketplaces, which is very relevant now. We learned a lot of useful information about the most popular electronic platforms such as Ebay, Alibaba, and Amazon. We have identified the differences between these platforms and each other and the difference in business models. Such business events are always attractive, as they help you scale your business with new knowledge," said Ivan Shadrin, Business Development Manager at CARSYS.
The Omsk Region Export Support Center provides free services to representatives of small and medium-sized businesses: translation of materials into foreign languages, organization of participation in international exhibitions, business missions, search for partners abroad, placement on international trading platforms, and much more.
