Novel solutions are desperately needed to prevent the global spreading of serious infections. IHMEC-project combines offerings to tailored indoor hygiene (IH) solutions and export them to the Middle-East (ME) markets. The ME climate forces people to remain indoors and hence, large crowds meeting daily at e.g. shopping malls, airports, schools, and hospitals are at risk of catching infections. Although ME market holds lucrative business opportunities, they cannot be utilized by a single company or cluster. All actors involved in planning, designing, building, and furnishing indoor spaces are needed to reach effective IH results. However, most of the business actors in IH field are small or middle sized (SMEs) and lack the necessary knowledge and resources to export to host markets of considerable cultural and physical distance. IHMEC has the needed combination of local, indoor hygiene, and marketing capability. IHMEC creates and exports joint IH solution of Central Baltic (CB) area SMEs into Middle-East construction markets using indoor hygiene as a competitive edge. IHMEC integrates relevant clusters from Sweden, Estonia and Finland into a meta-cluster; compiles a data base on IH research, technology, and the target markets; develops, tests & tailors IH solutions; designs viable networked business models, market entry strategies & sales operations; as well as involves experts from the host markets for CB companies to enter the markets and close sales. The aim is to target customer segments with which long-term business relationships can be developed. IHMEC novelty highlights: 1) Integrated CB region meta-cluster on indoor hygiene (IH), 2) Up-to-date knowledge data-base on IH technology and reliable test results, 3) Novel and tailored IH guidelines and IH solutions that fit the target markets, 4) Networked business models that support the export of the IH solutions, 5) Tailored market entry process to ME markets resulting in 12 export sales. Information added on 2020-05-25, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): IHMEC introduces novel solutions to prevent global spreading of serious infections by combining existing indoor hygiene solutions and exporting them into Middle-East. The project offers a combination of local, indoor hygiene, and marketing capabilities. IHMEC e.g. assisted a Finnish company producing chemical-free disinfection equipment to enter the Saudi-Arabian market.
