Success Story
May 2020 - May 2021
In May 2020, a groundbreaking initiative unfolded, marking the first ever collaboration between Costa Rica and Greece in the food sector. Our team at DnA Consultancy was spearheading this historic project, setting the stage for an unparalleled success story that would leave a lasting impact.
Our dedicated project management team meticulously orchestrated a series of strategic initiatives, with the highlight being a roadshow in Athens, Greece. This event brought together the Trade Representative of the Government of Costa Rica and key players in the Greek food industry. The meticulously crafted business agenda ensured fruitful interactions with top importers and businesses in Greece, culminating in a historic commercial meeting with representatives from both governments and members of The Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This unprecedented collaboration bore fruit as the project unfolded, resulting in new business opportunities for both nations. The climax of our efforts manifested in a remarkable $1 million deal in the Coffee Sector, showcasing the power of international cooperation and business synergy.
