Fierce competition in all industries and the rampant development of information and communication technologies constantly require businesses to look for new means to expand markets.
In August 2021, the Ukrainian Exporters Club launched a new online “Digital expo – Ukrainian Products and Services” Project. The Scope of the Project is to draw the attention of foreign importers, distributors, representatives of trading networks to Ukrainian products, attract them to cooperation and, thus, increase Ukrainian exports.
Digital expo is a web resource where only Ukrainian companies are represented. Each of them has its own web site with a scope of activities description, photos and presentations of products and services and a feedback form to send requests for cooperation. For ease of search, all companies are grouped by main categories, namely:
PRODUCTS:
Metallurgy and Metalworking Production
Energy and Raw Materials Resources
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
Food Industry
Mechanical Engineering
Vehicles and equipment
Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Industry
Agriculture
Wood and Furniture
Construction Industry and Public Works
Glass and building materials
Precision equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment
Textiles and clothing
Luxuries
Products for sports and recreation
SERVICES:
Information Technology
Printing and publishing
Transport and related services
Marketing, Advertising and Mass Media
Banking
Finance and Insurance
Business services
Health Care
TOURISM
Digital expo is three sites, each in its own language: in Ukrainian, English and Chinese. This is done in order to improve market coverage and increase the confidence of foreign companies located in different regions of the world.
In fact, “Digital expo – Ukrainian Products and Services” is not a new project of the Ukrainian Exporters Club. It is a modernized, updated and adapted to modern market needs “Inspired By The Best In Ukraine” Project, which was created in 2015.
The previous project was supported by DHL and the EBRD at various stages of its life. It presented Ukrainian products and services at the international exposition IF CHINA in Beijing in 2016 and CIIE in China in 2019.
In the summer of 2021, the electronic catalogues of the Ukrainian Exporters Club became Digital expo.
In the last 3 months (June to August) of 2021, the exhibitors received more than 10,000 requests for cooperation from Malaysia, Poland, Turkey, China, Korea, Baltic States and other countries.
The modern project has become even better. It participates in international online expositions, including: worldexpo, expotobi, food1.com, echemi.com, infobel.com, foodfocus.co.za and others.
“Digital expo – Ukrainian Products and Services” is supported by world and Ukrainian reputable organizations, including: Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Entrepreneurship And Export Promotion Office, Euromonitor International and Others. The general media partner of the exposition is the Interfax-Ukraine News Agency.
