If your company had the opportunity to participate in Expo 2027 (either in the preparation of Expo 2027 or at the Expo 2027 event itself), how do you think you could participate? Expansion into new markets?
Expo 2027 will attract visitors from all over the world, which means Yumis can seize the opportunity to showcase itself to international partners and customers. This could open doors for exports to new markets, especially considering the growing demand for high-quality food products.
Increasing visibility: Presence at an international event like this increases brand recognition not only in the domestic market but also on the global stage. This can help Yumis strengthen its image and create new business connections.
Economic growth and development: Companies like Yumis have the potential to use Expo 2027 to attract investments, strategic partnerships, and modernize their operations. Increased demand and import-export relations can contribute to the growth of the Serbian economy.
Interaction with visitors and innovation: Expo will provide Yumis with the opportunity to directly connect with consumers, gather feedback, and develop new products tailored to different markets. Additionally, there may be collaboration with technological partners to improve production processes.
What improvements and programs would you suggest that you think could contribute to your business and the Serbian economy?
