Best practices to create sustainable growth

Colombus Development Network strongly believes that innovation is key for international development

When a company is expanding internationally, products & services offer need to evolve in order to meet the new local markets. Changes in the company culture could also be expected and therefore internal, products & corporate communications need to be revised to perfectly match the firm new positioning. International business development is as well impacting many company functions, and then a new model may be needed to make this shift sustainable. Financial supports have been made available to assist companies on these technical, marketing, and organizational issues.
