ICE relies on Octagona for Temporary Export Manager training

Are you a Temporary Export Manager looking for training?

Starting internationalization and export activities abroad is becoming increasingly important. In the current economic context, made-in-Italy exports are going through a decidedly positive phase, and there is a growing hunger for Italian products in the world: for this very reason companies need to sell abroad and to find new formulas to be able to activate an export project.

These definitely include the Temporary Export Manager, i.e., a dedicated manager who works as an external consultant, supports and assists the company in a foreign sales path, and is capable of managing export projects: this is a particularly important resource, since SMEs do not always have the resources available to them to internationalize and cannot always rely on in-house figures to handle the entire export process. Octagona, a company that has been operating for about fifteen years in internationalization by providing services for business growth abroad, Is able to support the growth of companies through the Smart Export Assistant, a tool developed specifically to support SMEs in their sales activities; Octagona, specifically, has also been Accredited by the Ministry of Economic Development for the provision of Temporary Export Management services under the call launched by MISE itself.
