FAQ
What are the target markets for this mission?
Our missions are customizable! We believe that each delegate should select markets that make sense based on your own objectives and market research instead. Receptions, briefing sessions, etc. will take place in “anchor markets”, or markets seeing significant delegate presence.
Can I enroll in the Customized Consulting Services AND the Spring Trade Mission?
Yes! However, if you are considering applying for both this service and the Spring Trade Mission, we stipulate that the services requested under the customized consulting services initiative be distinct from those that are to be delivered through a trade mission (e.g., market research or virtual meeting coordination focused on distinct geographic markets)
What happens if public health guidance changes regarding non-essential travel?
Should econext decide that travel to the region is no longer advisable prior to the creation of mission meeting programs, the mission may be postponed.
If travel restrictions change after matchmaking has begun, the mission may pivot to a virtual format. It takes considerable time and effort to create and confirm tailored meeting programs, and delegates will be expected to devote similar attention and effort to the execution of a virtual program if need be.
Registration deadline for this mission is March 18, 2022, however early registration is encouraged!
*Please note that there are a limited number of spaces available for this opportunity and that meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee registration.*
