Funding advice at ICS<\/h3>\n

During the consultation with Marie Peinsith on the go-international internationalization offensive, a funding initiative of the Federal Ministry for Digitalization and Business Location and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, Managing Director Stefan Ponsold<\/strong> was presented with a variety of ICS services that he was previously unaware of.<\/p>\n

Of particular interest to him were the services related to UN tendering<\/a>, the Enterprise Europe Network<\/a>, the services of AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA, the qualification programs of the EU project EXPEDIRE<\/a>, and, of course, the go-international funding program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

To access the ICS network and information platforms, the company was added to the ICS newsletter distribution list and immediately connected with colleagues.<\/p>\n

In addition to detailed consultations on the aforementioned areas, personal support was also provided for the application and processing of funding requests. As a result, several applications were successfully processed.<\/p>\n

Through these extensive ICS services, the company has already achieved successes, such as a significant increase in sales through performance marketing in Italy, France, and Spain!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
