Export Champion Program 2022-23

Are you an entrepreneur or manager interested in new business opportunities?

Octagona, as a SACE partner, offers theExport Champion Program, the specialized, academic and completely free training program promoted by SACE Education in collaboration with LUISS Business School.

The initiative, now in its 3rd edition this year, is aimed at exporting companies interested in deepening their knowledge of Latin America and in particular of the markets of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico and to intercept new business opportunities in the area, also in the context of supply chain operations supervised by SACE.

This year's training course will give participants exclusive access to a digital platform where they will be able to:

• Follow all appointments (live or streaming);
• Download on-demand content;
• Register with an official profile to encourage the exchange of good practices with other companies;

• Talk directly, through surveys and questions, with the speakers and the participants.

 

Why Latin America?

Although Latin America is among the regions most affected by the pandemic on a global level, already in 2021 it recorded a moderate growth dynamism (+7% of GDP on average), also encouraged by one geographical and economic remoteness from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, by the relative isolation of many economies from global value chains and by an energy and food self-sufficiency that characterizes many contexts in the area.

But in the aftermath of the presidential elections in Brazil, what are the current and future challenges awaiting Italian companies interested in developing their business in the country? What are the opportunities for companies that decide to enter Colombia, a dynamic economy that confirms good growth prospects (+15.7% in 2022, +7.1% in 2023)? The individual meetings will provide the opportunity to explore, specifically, the risks and opportunities that the three Latin American markets can offer in the aftermath of the outbreak of the pandemic and a changed political-economic framework.

 

What will we talk about?

• The course is divided into 6 training sessions, delivered in webinar mode, aimed at providing an economic, legal and fiscal analysis of the markets under analysis, as well as a complete picture of insurance-financial tools for accessing the Brazilian, Mexican and Colombian markets;
• These will be followed by a event in presence on Rome which will also be a networking opportunity to meet the other participating companies and the LUISS and SACE faculty;
• All participating companies will also receive a certificate of attendance.

 

Who is the Export Champion Program aimed at?

100 SMEs* (CEO and/or corporate figures in charge of managing internationalization processes) with previous experience abroad, without exclusion of the sector of activity, who want to explore commercial opportunities in the Latin American area.
