New edition of Prodeca Export Pime to get started in internationalisation

Prodeca is opening the call for the 3rd Prodeca Export Pime 2027, a programme aimed at Catalan agri-food SMEs that want to start exporting or that export occasionally. From January to June, participating companies will work on their internationalisation plan.

The programme, at a cost of 250 euros for participating companies, combines individualised support, specialised training and expert advice over six months. Each company will have a mentor to analyse its export potential, define priorities and address the challenges of its internationalisation process. This work will be materialised in a Strategic Internationalisation Plan adapted to the company's objectives, resources and capabilities.

An itinerary from January to June

The 2027 edition will begin on 20 January with a presentation event and an in-person working session at the World Trade Center. During the programme, the mentor will visit each company and hold individual online follow-up sessions.

The training will address practical issues of international trade and commercial activity. The calendar includes sessions on Incoterms, negotiation with distributors, presentation techniques for food products and triangular operations. Activities will be held in person and online, between February and June. Companies will also be able to receive advice from specialists with direct knowledge of the markets they have identified as priorities.

The programme will end in June with the completion of each company's internationalisation plan and a closing event.

Up to 15 participating companies

Prodeca Export Pime is aimed at Catalan agri-food SMEs with potential to internationalise. Both companies that do not yet export and companies that export occasionally and want to better structure their strategy may apply. In both cases, they must have productive capacity, infrastructure, logistics and human resources to tackle this process.

Places are limited to 15 companies, and participation requires a commitment to attend the programme's activities. To submit an application, companies must complete the registration form included in the call. They will then receive a questionnaire that will allow Prodeca to assess their profile and select the applications that best fit the established criteria. All registered companies will receive the result by email.
