In these challenging times, cross-fertilisation can be key and the exhibition industry is being encouraged by many to look outside its usual sphere to discover different approaches and initiate new collaborations.
The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) is one such example of where to look for inspiration - a successful network established in 2008 by the European Commission. It is now active in more than 60 countries worldwide and it brings together 3,000 experts from more than 600 member organisations, assisting European SMEs in their internationalisation efforts.
