SWS wraps up at Annecy

by jbolhoven on 11-Jun-10 12:18

Friday 11 June

Both Thursday and Friday morning proved to be busy with the stand enjoying a steady stream of traffic. Among those visiting the UK companies included Canal+, TF1, the delegation from Canada and ABC Australia.

The companies participated in a drinks reception on Wednesday night and had the opportunity to pitch directly to key contacts (see below), and on Thursday they attended a 'Meet the Buyer' event where they met representatives from China, Korea, France, Spain and India. David Sproxton from Aardman even popped along and delivered a few words of encouragement and hints for getting the most out of attending international markets.

The companies have made the most of the associated activities with some attending a sauna party  with the delegation from Finland - pictures to follow! So far one company has successfully secured funding from a Development Agency and another is exploring the possibility of a co-production deal with Canada.

Check back for more updates from the delegation.
