Organisational efficiency and the identification of market opportunities are two of the critical success factors for small and medium enterprises.

SITC has designed this event to enable its members to access this specialist advice in a ‘one stop shop’ seminar. The first half of the day provides short, punchy presentations covering the key factors for operational efficiency. The second half of the day provides a platform for the identification of overseas market opportunities.
