The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) service has been able to provide support and information to CyroGENESIS a number of times over recent months. From an inital enquiry about the EEN's Business Opportunity Database, which can provide leads for businesses looking to expand into Europe, CyroGENESIS has accessed a range of resources in areas including langauge translation, expansion and legal matters.
The Solution
The EEN broker arranged for the translation of a document outlining the blood collection procedure from English into French and contacted the Human Tissue Authority on behalf of CryoGENESIS to find out about any restrictions on importing cord blood to the UK from other countries.
Paul Griffths, Managing Director of CyroGENESIS said, "through EEN we managed to ascertain that there was a network that we could access immediately, to find agents to help us develop our business."
"We discovered that we could utilise a multi-langauge call centre, which would save us millions of pounds by not having to establish a presence in every European country."
Paul added, "The help that the EEN service has given us has been absolutely fabulous and we will definitely continue to work with them in the future."
