The ISMEF project supports Finnish and Estonian small and medium-sized enterprises in the transport sector to export to the UK, the USA, Canada and the Middle East.

ISMEF

ISMEF is an acronym for ‘Increasing international sales in the intelligent and sustainable mobility sectors of Estonia and Finland’. The project’s aim is to support Finnish and Estonian mobility companies and related ICT service providers to develop competitive cross-border service and product offers for three international target markets: North America, the Gulf region, and the UK.

Our supporting services include collecting market information about the project target markets, connecting project partners and companies with local experts and one another through match-making events, skills development activities, and communication about Estonian and Finnish mobility and related ICT service capabilities.

Expected results

The project will include a range of internationalisation support activities tailored to the needs of companies in the ITS Finland and ITS Estonia networks.

We expect that by the end of the project at least 15 SMEs from Estonia and Finland will have introduced marketing or organisational innovations as a result of the project and at the latest one year after the end of the project implementation period at least 15 SMEs will have achieved sales or contracts to new markets.
