When AM and 3D printing enters more and more into all kinds of business sectors it is definitely time to watch out for new business opportunities. There is a challenge to find the competences required to be in the game - and it is not very easy to up-skill the existing managers and employees - but if you can manage that - the opportunity can be a success for your business.

In a European Project - ROTENA - the framework for a set of training modules to introduce individuals to 3D printing is being pilot tested and will be launched in June 2018. Read more about it here...

“Digital Training Toolbox for Entrepreneurial Training in Augmented Reality (AROMA)” - a new project under the Erasmus+ program funded by the European Commission.
With partners from a number of countries in Europe we will develop a toolbox for entrepreneurial training  supported by AR - Augmented Reality.  AR is not a standard yet and it is far from implemented in traditional learning and training.
For us in SMEBOX it is a great opportunity to learn a new way of developing useful training tools and a great opportunity to stay ahead in the market of Business Development and Competence Development in Small Businesses.

Every time you are engaged in something special, inspirational, fun and together with great colleagues - time flies! That is the case also with the REAL project. It started in January 2016 and is now in the stage of the Final report.

Wonderful and competent partners from 8 European countries have made a great effort to manage to produce 48 video lessons and 48 animated videos to give a chance to students all over Europe to take the step into Business and Entrepreneurship.  Thanks you friends!

I guess you didn´t miss that videos are taking over as the main channel to communicate your brand and business. Either it is a recorded presentation, a slideshow with voice over, an animated video or maybe the new trend with interactive videos - the message is simple "Video is a must for your business". 

​Buying votes in an election is normally considered a form of corruption and not very democratic. However it is used by people, and organizations, all over the world to reach an attractive position or to be the winner of a contest. In business we can see some of the same phenomenon, entrepreneurs and businesses buying "likes" and "followers" on social media to look more successful and interesting to the audience and real followers.

We very often hear that we need to learn a new language to take the step to a new market in a new country. To be fluent in several languages is of course a great advantage in making business with other countries. The more secure you feel in both understanding and make your self understood - the better situation do you have in a meeting or a negotiation situation. 

You will also feel more comfortable in other situations like when you travel, book a room, orders at a restaurant etc... 

Our recommendation is that you consider a new language for your business relations as a tool to use to achieve the goals you have set up for the New Market. To be able to communicate, to listen and to deliver a message that is correctly understood is the Key.
