Why should you apply?

If you are one of the six nominated companies, a professional corporate film highlighting export activities will be shot at your location. This film will be shown on site at the award ceremony, giving you the opportunity to present yourself to top-class experts from the fields of business, politics and science. In addition, the film will be made available to you afterwards so that you can use it as an image film.

As the Foreign Trade Award will be presented for the 13th time in 2023, it is a very established award that recognizes your export successes through extensive media coverage.
