The project LOOK-EU-NET aims to support and help 10 European Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) networks to expand their businesses in foreign markets, also outside the European Single Market, by providing with the necessary tools for guaranteed success abroad.
The goal is, thus, to create up to 10 formalized small-firms / scale – up networks (each composed by 4-8 companies from different Countries) that will increase the beneficiaries’ capacities to go international, improve technological and managerial skills, and enhance their performance and internationalization strategy.
One of the Networks formed and financed by the project is FOOD VARIETY NETWORK.

1./ Building of common web-site and visual identity. Preparation of commercial documents.
