Conclusion / Acknowledgement
After 13 years of activities in the economic area of South America the participation at the Go-To-Market Assistance program can be interpreted as a total success though some skepticism at the beginning.
We still prepare some Projects in South America beyond the program.
We would like to acknowledge to:
Ms Sonneberg General Manager CAMCHAL / Chile Ms Wandelt Head of DE international / Chile Ms Ben Mahmoud Operations Manager DE International
Our experience with the program in North Africa is also absolutely positive.
