DISCOVER OUR TRADE4U APP

For whom?

The Trade4U application was developed to send targeted international opportunities to the subscribed companies. Nearly 500 more general to very specific sources are regularly checked to filter out the most interesting opportunities. In 2022, 25,746 trading opportunities were distributed.

 

Always new opportunities

These business opportunities are sent based on the company profile registered in the exporters' database. This identification is based on two criteria: the definition of the commercialised products and services on the one hand and the target markets (countries) on the other. Based on this, only the relevant information is disseminated. The company profile can be changed at any time.

Creating consortia

Available for iOS and Android, for smartphones and tablets, the application offers an essential function: creating consortia. Belgium consists mainly of SMEs, it is common that a company is not big enough to only respond to quotations issued by large international institutions. Once they agree to share contact information, a company can indicate its interest in an opportunity. The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency will connect the various interested parties. What's more, subscribers can participate free of charge in two major annual seminars organised by the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency.

The next Trade4U seminar "Opportunities of the Brazilian Market” will take place on Tuesday 16 April 2024 from 14:00 onwards, at the premises of Credendo, Rue Montoyer 3, 1000 Brussels.

Invitation Trade4U seminar 16/04/2024

The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency and Credendo have the pleasure to invite you to their Trade4U seminar “Opportunities of the Brazilian Market” on Tuesday 16 April 2024 from 14:00 onwards, at the premises of Credendo, Rue Montoyer 3, 1000 Brussels.

This seminar is held in view of the Belgian Economic Mission which HRH Princess Astrid will preside in Brazil from 22 to 29 November 2024 and, which is organized in close cooperation with Flanders Investment & Trade, the Wallonia Export & Investment Agency, Hub Brussels, and the FPS Foreign Affairs.


Despite the relative distance between Belgium and Brazil, the opportunities in bilateral trade and investment between the two countries are huge and some current worldwide challenges such as climate change have further increased the possibility for enhanced commercial relations.

Brazil is eager to find technological solutions to accelerate its green transition and halt deforestation. Consequently, there are numerous opportunities for Belgian companies to contribute to this objective, in addition to addressing various other infrastructural needs and high-end commodities.

All this confirms why the Brazilian market should definitely be on your radar.

With Belgian and Brazilian key speakers, this seminar is an ideal moment to obtain more background on the opportunities and the mission and to network with relevant businesspeople and officials.

To confirm your participation please use the links in the attached invitation.
For Trade4U subscribers: 50€
All other participants: 150 € (which includes participation in the seminar and a one-year subscription to Trade4U).

Due to the limited number of seats available, the principle of 'first come, first served' applies.
