Opportunities for suppliers in the field of Industry 4.0

10/20/2022

The Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) promotes market development measures within the framework of the market development program for small and medium-sized enterprises, which are intended to support medium-sized companies in the development of new sales markets. This includes business initiation trips, where a "match making" between companies from Germany and actors in the target country is the focus.

Participating companies also receive a target market analysis and the opportunity to present their products and services on site. The cost of participation is - depending on the size of the company - 500 to 1,000 euros net. In the spring of 2023, two such business initiation trips on the topic of Industry 4.0 will take place.

One of the two business initiation trips will lead to the USA to Chicago and Illinois from March 20 to 24, 2023. The trip is organized by the Chamber of Commerce USA Chicago in cooperation with SBS systems for business solutions GmbH. The VDE Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V. (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) will provide technical support for the business initiation trip. Further information as well as the possibility to register can be found here.

The second business initiation trip will lead to Slovakia from April 24 to 28, 2023. The trip is carried out by the AHK Slovakia in cooperation with econAN international GmbH. Further information as well as the possibility to register can be found here.
