Why an export consortium?
|
|
The CONSORTEX' s partners are committed to forming export consortia, bringing together the Atlantic Area Shipbuilding SMEs, promoting the collaboration between them. By being part of an export consortium, companies keep their autonomy and could combine expertise and financial means to access foreign markets.
Sharing good practices:
UNIDO' s Export Consortia Project in Colombia is a great example of how export consortia work and the main benefits to the companies involved.
