SME's International Development

In the early stage of a business development opportunity, a company needs to have comprehensive and reliable information on a targeted country which CIC offers through :

• Country focus: Individual meetings on a yearly basis are organized by CIC banks between corporate customers and the CIC representative of the targeted country.
• Sector survey: CIC representation will provide brief and basic information on a sector in a specific country such as import/export characteristics, duties, etc.
• Short listing: CIC team in the targeted country will provide a short-list of main local players according to client’s specific requests. 

CIC will help corporate clients to identify appropriate key players on a specific market which match their requirements:

• Contacts research: CIC will submit its customer’s list of products or services to various contacts (suppliers, subcontractors, wholesalers, importers, or distributors according to the specific request of the company) and will advise its customer of the interest expressed by these potential business partners.
• Commercial mission (2 to 3 days): Once the list of interested companies is established, CIC will organize for its customer a tailored program of business meetings with them.
