International business in the «new normal»
Once the pandemic is largely under control, the «new normal» will take hold in international business. The International Trade Forum offers you more than two hours of inspiration plus the tools that will get you ready to get back on track as quickly as possible.
Economists expect 2021 to be the year in which the global economy picks up. So now is the time to look back at the good, the bad and the ugly experiences of 2020, the year of crisis, and thoroughly assess your own international business situation.
At the International Trade Forum – the big annual meetup of the Swiss export community – your questions are on the table: What will the business world look like after the pandemic? What new options do you have in terms of your cross-border strategy? How do you make your value chain, sales markets, business partners, sales and marketing operations more crisis-proof? How do you digitalize?
How can you expand your business internationally? Develop your market shares, or even target new ones?
Together with our partners, we at the International Trade Forum offer you inspiration and orientation in just two hours, digital and secure, with:
- a keynote address from Federal Councilor Ignazio Cassis and another exciting keynote speaker;
- a wide choice of break-out sessions with specific support for your international business; and
- individual virtual exchange with other exporters, our country specialists and experts.
So that you can grow successfully in the new normal!
