EXPORT in GENERAL Export should be based in customer need When there is a market pull eg. Beijing 2022 Olympics new ways of working may be needed. Larger markets e.g. China total solutions needed rather than one product or service, Co-operation with other local agencies e.g, Cleantec stakeholders, Scandinavia, Finpro country organizations, Tekes, Exporting is not ONE event - Longer committment is needed. Follow up. Sister City Co-operation very important
HOW TO GROW AND EXPORT 1. CLEAR MARKET/CUSTOMER NEED 2. IDENTIFIED MARKET PULL 3. BE OPEN to NEW OPPORTUNITIES and NEW WAYS OF WORKING
