The bag and accessories-producing brand "Cosmo" declares, that state support is important for business development. As Sopho Mukhulishvili, co-founder of COSMO, said the main challenge is finding new partners.
According to her, the company has the biggest partner from Denmark at this stage. COSMO exports a large number of bags and accessories in this market. As she notes, in order to meet their standards, the company actively worked on the quality for 6 months.
"We tested different bags, after which we met their standards. The free trade agreement is very important, it helps us a lot in communication. When we go to exhibitions, we face a lot of difficulties. International "buyers" do not have information about free trade, which we think is a challenge. Many Georgian companies should work on this and we should talk about the benefits of this agreement. The European market is very important for the stability of Georgian businesses," says Mukhulishvili.
According to her, they started taking an active part in exhibitions 3 years ago, and as of today, they have 8 branches in Georgia and export their products to 7 EU countries. They are also actively represented in non-EU markets.
