On the 12nd february there were visits to some companies of the regions, interested in finding more information about the BEC fair calendar and how to participate. 

This session also took place with the signing of a Cooperation Protocol, which aims to support companies in intering internacional markets and which is expected to be very interesting and advantageous for the companies of our region, namely in the benefit of special conditions and specialized support to companies interested in participate in future editions of BEC fairs.
