Export Speed Mentoring
Export Speed Mentoring is a one-day event that brings together design-makers and mentors from Estonia, Sweden, Poland, and Germany to support the Baltic Sea Region designers in entering new markets and adapt sustainable principles.
During the event, all designers will have individual mentoring sessions with three foreign market experts and one circular economy consultant. The local market mentors will help participants to assess their business potential in different countries and advise them on market entry strategies, product development, competitive landscape, and marketing possibilities. Designers will also have mentoring sessions with circular economy experts to discuss ways to make their business models more sustainable.
In addition to mentoring sessions, the program also hosts different speakers, who will share their internationalization experiences and success stories to inspire and encourage others to reach their goals. At the end of the event, all designers will have an understanding of their potential in different countries and ideas about the first steps they should do for market entry.
The organisers invite designers in the field of fashion and accessories to explore new markets and think about sustainability!
