Comprehensive Support from ICS

During a consultation with Marie Peinsith regarding the go-international internationalization initiative, a funding program by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, Co-Owner & Authorized Signatory Stefan Düss was introduced to a variety of ICS services that he had not been aware of until then.

Of particular interest to him were the services related to UN tendering, the Enterprise Europe Network, the services of AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA, the qualification programs of the EU project EXPEDIRE, and the go-international funding program.

To access the ICS network and information platforms, the company was added to the ICS newsletter distribution list and immediately connected with colleagues:

• Consultation and proactive information on suitable UN tenders
• Support with appointment scheduling and information transfer for incoming missions to Austria (e.g., from Uganda, Cameroon, Central Asia, etc.)
• Provision of the Export-Fit-Check, thereby making EU funds available for Styrian SMEs for internationalization support and consultation via the EU project Enabling!Export

bit media e-solutions has utilized a variety of services since 2010, specifically funding consultation & processing through ICS.

Thanks to the extensive support from ICS, the company has been assisted in market entry and the development and acquisition of international projects, gained valuable insights into several markets, leveraged the expertise & experience of others, and generated revenue.
