Short Overview

Internationalization is a strategic priority of modern business. Opening up to new markets plays a key role in viability, competitiveness, achieving high added value, profitability and attaining business objectives. Nevertheless, the number of outward-looking companies in Greece remains small and there is a shortage of staff with specialized knowledge in the field of exports.

The aim of this program is to enhance trainees understanding of how to tackle and take advantage of the challenges and opportunities of the globalized market in the context of Greek SME/family businesses. The program focuses on export market selection criteria, appropriate marketing strategies (adaptation/localization, standardization) for the selected export market and how to develop an export marketing plan.

The program offers systematic and comprehensive training for entrepreneurs and business executives interested in initiating, developing, and maintaining export activities. It equips trainees with essential, theoretical and practical alike, export marketing knowledge, emphasizing successful, up-to-date, and hands-on techniques in the field of exporting.

Upon completion of the program, trainees will have added an important qualification to their CV, which will certify their export training and help advance their career. Most importantly, trainees will be able to develop action plans to initiate and grow their export activities.

Learning Goals

The program is designed for people with no or limited export experience, who wish to acquire up-to-date training and expertise in opening businesses to new markets. The aim of the program is to provide participants with the appropriate knowledge (e.g., international market analysis, export customer behavior and after-sales service) and practical skills (e.g., selection, access, and use of international databases, foreign partner sourcing, competitive mapping) with a view to designing and implementing successful export marketing plans.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:
