Summary of project results
Why was the project needed? The instable economic situation, which affected different countries in Europe, pushed many companies to look or move to other regions searching for new clients and business opportunities. Introducing the internationalization philosophy in a business/company causes changes at all levels, such as innovation, marketing, production and administration in order to adapt the business/company to the new markets where we are interested to be present. It is a long process that has to be done by phases, but necessary and important if our interest is to convert our business/company in international. We believe that OPEN DOOR project will bring important benefits to our participant members, by implementing the tools that we are offering them to help in this internationalization process.
