At the Warsaw Food Expo International Exhibition, which takes place in Poland on May 17-19, Ukraine is represented by a record number of companies. At two national stands, deployed by the U-Food GS and the Do Business with Ukrainians platform, 40 domestic producers presented their products.
This was reported by Export Lead at Do Buisness With Ukrainians, Director at Start Global Dmitry Shvets.
Thanks to the Do Buisness With Ukrainians platform, a collective stand of craft Ukrainian manufacturers is presented at the exhibition.
“From the beginning of the war, we started mailing to business communities for registration of Ukrainian businesses on the DoBizWithUA.com portal. After registration, companies are checked in open databases according to EDRPOU and interviewed by our team to determine the possibility of doing business and the availability of resources. Thanks to the Do Business With Ukrainians team members in Poland, after negotiations with the organizers of the exhibition, we got the opportunity to present Ukrainian business at a free stand,†says Dmitry Shvets.
After that, invitations were sent to all the validated companies in the Do Buisness With Ukrainians database and invited to participate those who could physically attend the Warsaw Food Expo, have English-speaking people to work there, the opportunity to bring product samples to the exhibition and the availability of English-language marketing materials .
“We received the opportunity to participate in the exhibition for free in a short time, so not all companies were able to respond quickly. And we provided the opportunity to participate to everyone who promptly agreed and was validated on the portal. In addition to the collective stand, the Do Business With Ukrainians project provided the participants with organizational and communication support,†notes Dmitry Shvets.
