This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
Main goal of Info days for doing business in foreign countries, organised by Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Štajerska, is to give SMEs opportunity to come in direct contact with consultants for foreign market, so they do not have to search for them themselves.
Info days are organised as one-on-one 15-20 minute long consultations with consultants from foreign countries or with good knowledge of a foreign market. Focus of the consultation can vary, depending on the consultant:
- doing business in a foreign country (general),
- how to open a company in a foreign country,
- tax law in a foreign country,
- business practices in a foreign country,
- fairs in a foreign country,
- legal-formal aspect of entering a foreign market,
- specificities of certain industries on a foreign market.
For the implementation of the practice, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Štajerska co-operates with a wide range of consulting companies or individual consultants.
