Our work

Sesam accompanied a trade delegation from Quebec/Canada to the United Arab Emirates.
The thorough preparation of the delegation visit included an in-depth screening of the participating Canadian companies to gain an understanding of the companies’ products and their competitive advantages. The Canadian firms were provided with market overviews and target lists of potential meeting partners in an effort to collaborate closely with the clients and get a feedback on the quality of contacts at all stages of the preparation process.

Within four days the 11 participating companies from the Laval/Laurentides region met with more than 90 business partners in individual face-to-face meetings and on top attended several business gatherings and site visits to related projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The business meeting partners included direct clients, distributors, architects/consultants and government officials.

Testimonial

We, at Laurentides International, hired Sesam Business Consultants for a trade mission in the United Arab Emirates that was held in November 2008. Following our experience with them, we only have good words for the consulting firm as they did an excellent job of matchmaking our businesses with Emirian companies. The possible economic fallout from our association with Sesam Business Consultants is above what was expected when we first planned this trade mission. We must also add that the assistance provided with the logistical aspects of the trade mission was also very fast and reliable.

Mr. Maxime Jodoin, Laurentides International, Quebec, Canada

Thank you for the professionalism, support, and flexibility that you and your colleagues demonstrated from the beginning until the end of the trade mission.
