Export Academy
Export Academy events implement a variety of group consulting activities that take the form of professional seminars and webinars, which aim to improve the knowledge, techniques and business practices of Slovak SMEs in the field of foreign trade, not just necessarily from the ranks of exporters. Their aim is to support the expansion of SMEs into new more risk-prone foreign markets, as well as to increase their overall competitiveness internationally.
Seminars and webinars of the Export Academy focus on "hard skills", i.e. techniques and operations in foreign trade, as well as "soft skills", such as communication and negotiation skills in dealing with a foreign partner, presentation, cultural differences and customs that are elaborated on examples of good practice in the territories of interest and many others.
According to experience, export seminars are held in a virtual form through online webinars, while export academy seminars are face-to-face according to the demand from SMEs present in the different regions of Slovakia.
