EU NEIGHBOURS East. Entrepreneurs from the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine recently had the opportunity to take part in an EU4Business training on export practices and trade financing, organised by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and hosted by the Zaporizhia Business Support Centre.
The three-day workshop focused on how to enter new markets and covered payment methods and financing options to support increased exports and growth.
The course was led by international trainer Jonathan Jan Walden, who brought 35 years of experience in international trade and logistics activities. According to EU4Business, in a few months’ time, the interactive communication between the trainer and the graduates from Zaporizhia will continue, with individual skype consultations to follow up on the training.
The Zaporizhia Business Support Centre is part of the EU-funded Network of Business Support Centres, which aims to improve the competitiveness and bankability of Ukrainian SMEs through the provision of business advice and capacity building.
