Doing business in the United States: Seminar and meetings with US experts

Doing successful business in the USA requires thorough preparation and information on the local legal framework, tax regulations and business landscape. With a population of over 340 million and a GDP representing a quarter of the global total, the US market offers foreign companies a wealth of opportunities, but there is a lot to take on board before expanding into the market. Helping Brussels businesses to overcome these challenges, BECI and Enterprise Europe Brussels welcome a delegation of the European American Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Europe Network’s partner in the USA. 

Experts advisors in legal considerations, business development & strategy and site selection, including seazoned professionals from European American Chamber of Commerce South Carolina, will share practical advice and useful tips to be successful on the US market. The seminar will be followed by individual meetings with the experts where you will have the opportunity to ask specific questions on the potential of your business and the best way to enter the market.
