I NEED SUPPORT

Export support for Styrian companies

Support for your next steps in export

Are you already active internationally and want to move a specific export project forward? Perhaps you need a professional assessment, guidance for a decision, or access to the right contacts at home and abroad.

The ICS Internationalisation Centre Styria supports Styrian companies in assessing export questions, involving the right experts, and making targeted use of international networks for their own venture.

When export experience raises new questions

With every step abroad, the tasks become more concrete. New customers, changed framework conditions, or a demanding project can raise questions that general information cannot answer.

This page is right for you if, for example, you:

  • want to clarify a specific export question with experts,
  • need guidance for an ongoing or planned international venture,
  • want to check funding or financing options for a next step,
  • are looking for contacts among country, industry, or subject-matter experts,
  • want to reach international customers, sales partners, or cooperation partners,
  • want to make use of a trade trip, a B2B format, or an international network.

You don’t need to know in advance which ICS offer fits your situation. Describe your inquiry to us – we will assess it and show you the right path.

Which market fits your company?© Christof Hütter Photography

From market idea to well-founded decision

Perhaps you already have a specific country in mind. Perhaps you want to compare several markets. Or you are looking for regions where your offering could have particularly good prospects.

We help you avoid basing your market decision solely on individual pieces of information or personal impressions. Together, we structure the relevant questions and show you which information, experts, and services you can use for further evaluation.

The focus here is not on as many markets as possible, but on the markets that fit your company, your goals, and your available resources.

Two paths, one goal: moving your venture forward

Some export questions require professional clarity. Others require the right contact. Often, it is only the combination of both that leads to the next viable step.
