The sector seminars are organized twice a year by the Permanent Representations and Trade Promotion Organizations of twenty-three Member States of the European Union. These one day events are structured in two sessions: a morning session where European institutions’ officials involved in External aid programmes give an overview of the financing available for the sector chosen and an afternoon session where one to one meetings between participating companies take place.

The next seminar will focus on the new methods of implementation of the EU External Action budget and the opportunities they offer to European companies. It will take place in Brussels on Thursday, June 20, 2019.
In recent years, the implementation of the budget that the European Union allocates to third countries has experienced what could be regarded as a revolution. Indeed, up to five years ago most of the so called External Action budget was managed directly by the European Commission and the recipient countries’ authorities. Nowadays, the implementation of a large chunk of that financial envelope is delegated to a wide variety of actors, such as Member States development agencies, International Financial Institutions and non-profit making organisations
