implement their defined strategy.
In working through the programme, training needs will be identified and addressed and some financial assistance may be available to assist companies in financing eligible actions they need to take to prepare for exporting. Participating companies will have in place a system for reviewing and redefining their export marketing strategies on an on-going basis. This will enable Georgian companies to anticipate and to be prepared for the ever changing marketing environment, rather than just reacting to it.
During recent weeks GEPA staff has been visiting companies to explain the programme in detail. Four companies have already begun the first stage of the programme and another four will be added over the next few weeks. Companies committed to developing an achievable export marketing strategy and willing to devote time and effort to the process are invited to contact GEPA.
