Public procurement trade mission to Serbia

We are pleased to invite you to join us in a business mission to the Republic of Serbia, with a focus on public procurements. The mission is jointly organized by project GOOSE –  an EU-funded project aiming at improving the access of SMEs to public procurements in non-EU countries.

The joint mission and conference will take place on 10-12th May 2023 in Belgrade.

During the mission, we will present all the possibilities, but also obstacles in participating in public procurements in Serbia, talk about best practices, current opportunities, and you will have a chance to meet public entities, local partners, and companies. We will also organize matchmaking sessions with Serbian companies and entities.

English

PRICE
The GOOSE project covers the organization of the event itself and two lunches during the program, while all other costs (accommodation, flights, other travel expenses) will be covered by the participants.

Max 25 companies can participate.

Deadline for applying is 12th April 2023. After the cut-off date GOOSE consortia will make the selection, based on the companies’ readiness and suitability.
