From Styria into the world…

The ICS has a multitude of methods and has access to international networks, which support you in finding the suitable partner for your plans.


The cooperation with other companies is often the best opportunity for successful market development. Entering co-operations, supplementary abilities and resources can be gained, the utilisation of own possibilities can be improved, and own weaknesses can be compensated.

Before entering a cooperation, you should, however, perform detailed strategic planning. You should be sure what exactly you are aiming at with a cooperation and which role your future cooperation partner will play for you.

Clearly define the goals and the type of the cooperation.
The better the preparation, the more successful will the cooperation be. 
 
 

The Enterprise Europe Network is specialised in two methods for business partner search:

• Business Cooperation Database (BCDB)
  A database for publication of business requests; here around 300 Enterprise Europe Network companies from all over Europe are linked for business partner search.
   
• Internationale Cooperation Markets
  Special events or entrepreneurs’ meetings for certain industries, with short meetings between companies, during which joint interests are discussed.
