These professionals work directly in the target territory of a project and develop the company’s business by working abroad, solving sometimes very significant problems such as the language gap or the difficulty of meeting with counterparties.

The Local Export Manageris the optimal figure both for companies that choose to approach new markets whose complexity derives especially from the geographical-cultural distance, and for companies that want to consolidate their production or commercial presence.
