Are you aiming for international growth in your company? Interested in developing products to meet the needs of global markets? KareliaBite offers international business coaching for companies in the food and natural products industries. During these coaching sessions, you will create a roadmap for purposeful internationalization.

In KareliaBite coaching, you will clarify your company's internationalization objectives, discover new export opportunities, and identify areas for development. The coaching packages are built around themes of international food and natural products industry events, as well as visits from international experts and stakeholders.
