The overall objective of the project was to jointly use the existing business intelligence and connections that partners had with 2 regions in China and Chile for increasing the export of the CB region SMEs. Project main planned result was to reach 3-4 sales agreements in 3 markets during or shortly after the project, and to organise export missions for 30 SMEs from CB clusters to new markets.

Due to the COVID-19, the project had to adapt and implement a turnaround from the traditional physical traveling to external markets with a digital matchmaking program. This taught the consortium that it is possible to arrange successful export activities online. 35 companies attended digital matchmaking activities in 3 markets. By the end of the project 3 sales agreements (one in Chile and 2 in China) and 2 commercial representation agreements were signed. There are still 41 pilots under discussions that hopefully will turn in to agreements in near future.
