EC to finance penetration of out-of-Europe markets by companies from Serbia and region – RCSEE to realize PERES project

The Rail Cluster for South-East Europe (RCSEE), in partnership with several other big European rail clusters, has received support by the European Commission for the realization of the Promoting European Rail Excellence Outside EU (PERES) project.

The Business Support Network, the founding initiator and coordinator of all RCSEE activities, says that the aim of the PERES project is to establish stronger connections and interconnect the companies-members of all European partner organizations and to provide them with concrete support in their ventures in markets outside of Europe (Asia and Africa).

– This will mean a lot to production companies from the SEE region which want to find adequate companies for contractors for their products and services from Italy, France, Germany and Great Britain, especially those among them that are looking for their opportunity in export to the countries of Africa or Asia – the press release says.

RCSEE partners in this project are DITECFER, the leading Italian cluster of advanced rail technologies, I-TRANS, the French cluster for development of transportation technologies, BTS Bahntechnik Sachsen, the rail cluster of Lower Saxony, and RAIL ALLIANCE, the leading association of companies-contractors of GB railways.

The most important activities in the project, it is added, will be meetings of Cluster representatives aiming at creating quality mechanisms for their networking and the formation of European consortiums of producers in the field of railway industry for the purpose of ventures in out-of-Europe markets, where companies from the region have an opportunity to contract new orders and jobs as partners, suppliers and subcontractors of the biggest European companies.

One of the key activities included in the project will be the meeting of all interested cluster members from all five participating Clusters, to be held in Belgrade in second half of 2018 or early 2019.

The ultimate goal of PERES project is to enable certain members of the Cluster an opportunity to partner up with companies members of other European partner organizations and jointly present themselves on a large, non-European market that will be selected, the press release points out.
