Would you like to develop a foreign market? Are you looking for (further) business partners to strengthen your network abroad? Then take advantage of the funded measures under the Market Development Programme (MEP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK).

The MEP pursues the goal of positioning and disseminating German technologies and services internationally more strongly in order to increase the market potential for German technologies and German know-how.

Participants gather valuable first-hand market information, can present themselves and meet potential business partners.

To this end, SMEs in particular are supported via various formats at home and abroad. Participants in the measures have the opportunity to gather valuable first-hand market information, to present themselves to interested decision-makers at conferences in the target market and to meet potential business partners in individually mediated B2B talks.

More information on the MEP can be found on the pages of the foreign trade portal iXPOS.
