LEF network Azerbaijan – Joint support network for export development from Finland, Estonia, Latvia to Azerbaijan

The project LEF network Azerbaijan’s vision is to increase innovations and the bio-economy of the region by exporting services, know-how and goods to Azerbaijan. As a result, the Central Baltic region will be more sustainable and competitive.

The joint challenge is that Azerbaijan is specific due to market needs, language and business culture. For enterprises market entry individually is much harder than cooperating jointly with other enterprises and business support organizations. As a result export to the 3rd countries will be achieved faster and in a more effective way.

The project LEF network Azerbaijan aims to achieve 10 sales agreements during 36 months between Finland’s, Estonia’s and Latvia’s mature SMEs and Azerbaijan. Based on small research matching demand and offers are the ICT sector, Green technologies, education – higher and lifelong, interior design as service and interior design products.

– develop joint support – service platform for export development from Finland, Estonia and Latvia to Azerbaijan.
– to implement The Export development programme, which consists of WP Regional image building, WP Market analyses, WP, Export knowledge, WP Export performance, WP Management and WP Communication. Main export activities will be trade missions, B2B events (incl. online), training.
– to provide reasonable services as non-financial support at least for 50 enterprises from the CB region.
