Patrick Struger, BSc – Assistant for International Affairs in the Software Internet Cluster

Our newly certified Assistant for International Affairs Patrick has been supporting SIC member companies since March 2021 when it comes to increasing internationalization activity and being present on the markets of the Alpe-Adria region, for example with the initiation of cross-border projects, connecting to important network partners or supporting business contacts. After a successful journey, there is now a short summary and impressions of the celebratory closing event.

“Crossing borders – benefit internationally together with regional know-how.”

The Coaching Program

In the course of the coaching program, our assistant was offered extensive training modules from the Carinthian Economic Development Fund (KWF), numerous opportunities for networking with regional, national and international entrepreneurs at home and abroad.

Various business locations such as Slovenia or Germany were also visited by the assistants, and discussions were held with business delegates from different countries in order to ensure the best possible basis for further and subsequent offensives.

Finally completed with a freshly printed certificate!
