Call for applications: Cluster and SME sectoral missions to Japan

The missions last 3-4 days and are composed of one-on-one meetings at a targeted trade fair with showcase and networking events to maximize opportunities for the EU participants.

Through this mission you have the opportunity to:

• create new business opportunities
• develop partnerships and business cooperation on global markets
• attend match-making events
• increase your innovation capacity and become more competitive on a global scale (as an  SME)
• prepare the ground for practical cluster cooperation across borders and make a more strategic use of transnational cluster cooperation on markets outside Europe in areas of strategic interest (as a cluster)
