In today's interconnected world, the allure of international markets beckons to businesses of all sizes. But venturing into foreign territories can feel like stepping into a labyrinth of complexity and uncertainty.

The double-edged sword of intermediaries

Local experts can be the key to unlocking doors, smoothing over cultural bumps, and even whispering in the right ears to get things done. While intermediaries can be invaluable allies, they also introduce a shadowy element of risk. The line between legitimate business facilitation and corruption can blur faster than you might think, potentially leaving your company exposed to serious legal and reputational damage.

Corruption: The hidden trap in Global Business

Imagine building your international presence for years, only to have it come crashing down because an intermediary crossed an ethical line. The stakes are high, and the consequences of getting caught in a bribery scandal can be devastating for both your company and yourself.

So, how do you seize global opportunities without falling into these traps? Olivier Moreau will tackle these issues in our upcoming conference.

We will dive into:

• The current landscape of international business risks
• Real-world case studies of companies who've navigated these waters
• Practical, actionable strategies to protect your business and yourself

Do not miss this chance to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to confidently expand your business horizons.
