2 Seas Trade

Closed

The 2ST project aims to help SMEs in the 2 Seas area to take the first steps to trading and doing business on a crossborder basis as a way to help them grow, following the recession. Helping small businesses to begin to look beyond their national boundaries, to undertake crossborder trade activities and develop international business collaborations will make a direct contribution to the development of the economy in the 2 Seas area. The project will focus firstly on establishing a crossborder trade network which will enable the project partners to work together to prepare a framework and series of activities and events for delivering direct crossborder trade support for SMEs. A series of trade support actions targeted at SMEs in the partner regions will then be delivered in order to enable the project partners to engage with businesses and support them in taking the first steps to understanding the benefits of international trade and then trading and doing business . Finally, there will be some capitalization on the networks developed (at the level of the partnership and SMEs) in order to encourage outside interest in the 2ST area as a single business destination and highlight the potential of inbound international trade with its businesses.
