Others Have Gone Before You
The Orange Trade Mission Fund has already helped over 100 SMEs gain a foothold in their intended export country. Curious about their experiences?
- Read the story of Somnox. Co-founder Jagtenberg: We learned a lot, and that is incredibly valuable. Many entrepreneurs – including ourselves – underestimate how difficult it is to export abroad. Among other things, due to cultural nuances. There is much more to it than you think. OHMF made this clear to us.
- Read the story of Oxipack. Managing Director Smit: I saw it passing by and thought: lets just try it. It can never hurt. And then we won too. That came as a welcome surprise.
