Asia market demands Growth potential is not limited by lack of sectoral opportunities, rather by capability & commitment to the Asian markets Companies that are best positioned to win in this region have: A world class technology, product or service innovation Management commitment to stay the course for what are lengthy sales cycles A balance sheet to travel regularly initially, and ultimately to have in market representation Are able to deal with demanding technical & customer servicing requirements Critical Success Factors Asian markets: careful market research, verification and validation of opportunity, defining a business model that works, and careful planning of market entry and roll out plan. Companies must be focussed and willing to invest time and resources to reap the export rewards Local representation in market with bilingual capability is in most instances essential. A majority of EI clients utilise local partners ASEAN markets like Singapore and Malaysia are good entry points for new exporters to the wider Asian region as English widely spoken and barriers to entry are lower than further north in China/ Japan/Korea
Asia Outlook and Ambition Economic 5 year outlook for Asia is stable & robust Domestic demand is forecast to continue to drive growth over next five years Potential to continue to grow EI Client exports from 1.6bn in 2015 Focus on key sectors - Food, Education, Fin Services, Aviation, Construction, Agri, Digital, Healthcare & Cleantech Market diversification is a key pillar of our response to BREXIT ASEAN markets offer strong realisable diversification opportunities
