 Flanders Business Initiative

Selection of Russian companies that will receive support in Flanders (Belgium)

For the quarantine period the project is an effective alternative to the risky participation in events abroad, as well as to the travel ban. Point five bellow is suspended.

The project operators are Regionomica LLC (official operator of the MEA Programme) and the Chamber of Commerce of Antwerp. Similar operators are being identified in other European countries.

Project concept 

The project concept is purely business oriented and is aimed at excluding conduct of formal fruitless missions and meetings.

As a rule, business missions are being organized either at the request of Chambers' members or at the initiative of business support structures - Chambers in the country or Trade Advisors abroad. In any case, there is no prior to the mission selection of those who ask for a mission or join it, and there is no checking whether a particular company has a chance to find a counterpart in the country where the business mission is going to. As a result, the output of such missions in general and everywhere is low for both sides, recipients and visitors.

We are introducing a new concept - checking feasibility prior to traveling.

Selection is being performed by two sides: first we in Russia check proposals of Russian companies from the viewpoint of the project idea or its feasibility in a specific foreign country; then foreign partner (chamber or agency) checks through contacts with its members whether Russian companies proposals are raising anyone's interest. Once mutual interests become evident, only then a business mission takes place. Accordingly, there are no idle trips and site seeing tours.

The project has phases and companies are invited to paying for the project services:

First - Russian companies are being notified of support in establishing business relations with companies in a foreign country and applications are being collected (sent upon request).

Second - Russian participants are assisted in formulating business proposals and / or investment projects and a preliminary selection of Russian companies is being carried out.

Third - business proposals and descriptions of investment projects of Russian companies are finalized in English and are being transmitted to the foreign partner.

Fourth – foreign partner (chamber or agency) checks business proposals and descriptions of investment projects of Russian companies taking into account interests of its member companies and reveals interest of its members in relation to specific proposals of Russian companies (selection procedure).

Fifth - based on the results of the mutual interests identified, a business mission (in group or individual) to the foreign country is being organized.

Flemish companies outside of Flanders are welcome to apply as well.

 Business Missions to Russia

Upon request missions could be organized to any Russian region.
