Capitalising on commercial opportunities in CEE

As company expansion into Western Europe stalled in 2010, activity in Central & Eastern Europe heated up after a recession-induced decline.

According to market figures from fDi Intelligence, the number of new offices, plants or other business facilities set up – and/or existing facilities expanded – by foreign companies into this fastgrowing region was on the rise over the past year.

Increasing attractiveness of 'nearshoring' as a business expansion strategy means that UK companies in particular are eyeing the region with interest.

  •  What government incentives are on offer that could be utilised?
  •  What do these companies know about potential in the region that might also benefit your firm?
  • And what types of opportunities are available?

This event is a workshop comprising presentations by fDi Magazine and key experts on crossborder company expansion as well as case studies from two companies who have made the move and will offer insights.

Speakers:

  • Courtney Fingar – Editor of fDi Magazine
  • Douglas Clark –  Director of Location Connections
  • Jeff D. Standridge, Ed.D. – Vice President of Global Operations for Acxiom Corporation
