How to integrate generative AI into your internationalization strategy

Do you want to understand how generative artificial intelligence can support your internationalization strategy?

20% of European companies with 10 or more employees already use artificial intelligence technologies, and this figure will continue to grow over the coming years. The challenge, however, is no longer simply to incorporate new tools, but to identify where they can add the most value to the company’s internationalization strategy, from market prospecting to customer acquisition and content generation.

The Generative AI applied to internationalization course offers you a practical, business-oriented approach to integrating this technology into your company’s internationalization strategy, with methodologies, tools and practical cases that can be applied to your international sales strategy.

If you are part of the company’s management or sales, export, marketing or communications teams, sign up and discover how to apply generative AI effectively to drive your internationalization strategy in areas such as:

Generative AI applied to internationalization strategy.
Buyer personas and inbound marketing with AI support.
Sales management, CRM and customer loyalty.
Content creation for digital channels and international markets.
AI applied to LinkedIn, trade fairs, GEO, SEO, SEM and sales automation.

The course will take place from 1 October to 24 November, from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm, and consists of 11 sessions:

10 virtual sessions (dates to be confirmed).
One in-person closing session on 24 November, which will take place in the auditorium of ACCIÓ’s Barcelona office.

You have until 24 September to register!

This training is co-funded through the European Enterprise Europe Network project and ACCIÓ.

How to integrate generative AI into your internationalisation strategy

Workshops in applying AI internationalization

Do you want to create AI agents and practical resources to boost your international business? Do you want to move from testing artificial intelligence tools to putting them to work in your company's business processes internationally? Would you like to create your own AI agents and leave the workshop with resources ready to use?

More and more companies are experimenting with artificial intelligence tools, but integrating them into business processes remains a challenge. According to the OECD, only 29% of SMEs that use generative AI have incorporated it into their core business activities. This shows that the value does not lie just in being familiar with tools, but in knowing how to apply them to real cases and making them fit the needs of each company.

In this sequence of four face-to-face workshops you will work with your own computer and on cases applicable to your business. Through a practical methodology, you will learn how to set up AI agents, experiment with different use cases, and generate resources that you can adapt and continue developing once the programme is finished.

If you are part of a company that wants to boost its international reach with practical AI applications, sign up and discover how to apply this technology in areas such as:

Identifying where AI can add value to the international business processes of your company.
Create and configure AI agents adapted to your business, without having to program.
Apply these agents to processes such as attracting and monitoring international clients.
Generate commercial content adapted to different markets and international channels.
Develop prompts, templates and other resources that can be reused with your team.

The programme consists of four in-person workshops that will be held on 23 and 30 October and 6 and 20 November, from 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

You have until October 11 to register!

*This training is co-financed through the European project Enterprise Europe Network and ACCIÓ.

Space is limited to 20 participants to optimise practical work and support during the sessions. Registration does not guarantee a spot in the workshops.
