Providing support at international trade shows

On ISPO Munich et OutDoor By ISPO trade shows

Since 2014, OSV, in partnership with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, makes it easier for small companies and startups to attend international trade shows.

Export markets represent an important part of any company’s growth, even in the outdoor sports industry. The trade show support services offered by OSV allow French companies to exhibit as a group at ISPO Munich and OutDoor by ISPO, two of the world’s largest international trade shows. The services provided by OSV for these two trade shows off you two different options as an exhibitor:

• At the Camp de Base common booth space,
• Via an individual booth in a hall more in line with your product universe.

The collective space Camp de Base is the French corner, unifying and friendly. It allows you to enjoy a large space and increased visibility on these international exhibitions while having your own stand.

The goal of OSV’s trade support services is to provide exhibiting companies with international opportunities. For both trade shows, benefits include:

01. Individual assistance, through one key contact at OSV, for all organizational and logistics questions (booth, transport, food, invoicing, etc.).

02. Shared services to prepare for the trade, to gain greater visibility, and to expand your business network.

03. Financial assistance from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region as part of the region’s international development plan (eligibility conditions apply).

Trade Shows in the USA and ASIA

OSV also facilitates access to trade shows in North America (Outdoor Retailer Snow Show, Outdoor Retailer Summer…) and in Asia (ISPO Beijing, Interstyle in Japan,…). In addition to trade shows, OSV organizes business develop trips to specific countries when multiple members (at least 5) show interest. For this service, we always work with a local partner (CCI, Business France, or a private company).
