Prodeca opens registration for its export mentoring programme for agri-food SMEs

Prodeca Export Pime is the new mentoring programme designed by Prodeca to support Catalan agri-food SMEs at the start of their internationalisation. The programme, running from May to November 2025, offers practical, tailored, results-oriented training, so that each participating company finishes with an Internationalisation Strategic Plan tailored to its needs.

Over seven months the selected companies will receive expert support combining in-person sessions, one-to-one online consultancy, company visits and specialist training days to help them identify market opportunities, analyse their strengths and areas for improvement and define a clear, realistic strategy for successful exporting.

The programme will be mentored by Martí Lloveras Morell, an international trade expert at ARGOS TRADING with extensive experience supporting agri-food SMEs in their expansion into new markets.

Prodeca Export Pime is aimed at:

🔸 Catalan agri-food SMEs with internationalisation potential.

🔸 Companies that already export occasionally and want to structure their strategy better.

🔸 Producers and processors with a competitive, distinctive product for international markets.

🔸 Companies needing support to identify target markets and define an export action plan.

The programme runs in several phases, with activities including:

✅ Opening session and mentor visit to the company (May-June).

✅ One-to-one consultancy and training in foreign trade procedures (June-July).

✅ Practical workshop on elevator pitch and strategic follow-up (September-October).

✅ Presentation of the Internationalisation Plan and closing ceremony (November).

The number of places is limited to 15 companies, selected according to the profile set out in the call and in order of registration. You can still register until 18 April 2025.

Interested companies can now register through the form provided. Once registration is complete, Prodeca will contact the companies to finalise the selection process.
