International Business & Export Management Advanced Training (EMAT)
In times of an internationalizing world economy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have more opportunities to conquer new markets. Moreover, the level of innovation, compliance of product parameters, and high-quality products of German enterprises are often unrivalled. To use this advantage over often significantly larger competitors, SMEs require top personnel among export and sales managers specialized in international business.
Answering this demand, the International Business & Export Management Advanced Training (EMAT) has the aim to expand and round off existing export management knowledge by developing skills in areas like market and customer analysis, export planning and management, international negotiation skills, intercultural competencies, export financing, customs issues, among others.
To ensure the practical dimension of the project we bring German innovative startups and small and medium-sized companies with international students/alumni closer together. The startup/SME delivers a business case in the fields of international trade and export management that the group of participants uses as their case study during the training to gradually develop an International Business Model and Market Entry Plan. Startups and founders can work on their own business cases.
The EMAT training is open for international Students and Alumni from Saxony and Central Germany as well as for professionals from SMEs and Startups.
Training sessions will take place every Friday (between 15:00 and 18:15) and Saturday (between 9:00 and 12:15) starting in March 2024.
After successful completion and presentation of the practical projects, EMAT participants will receive a certificate issued by Leipzig University and SEPT Competence Center, signed by the partner company.
