The success of the gathering is such, that this year the event has multiplied by five its number of participant buyers from Europe, the United States, Asia and the Caribbean and more than 130 exporting businesses are expected to join the business roundtables. With the support of Opera Global Business, Conexport 2020 will once again be the reference event within the international export circuit, without it being affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

The 28th of September Chilepork (the association of pork meat in Chile) organized with the support of Opera Global Business, a presentation and tasting event of its products to Chinese meat sector professionals. The event was held in Shangai coinciding with the Sial China fair, which held an atypical edition by limiting the assistance to only a national level because of the international mobility limitations which are imposed by the country. This has caused the fair to not have a very successful outcome.

The exact opposite happened with this event, to which 100 people attended, mostly Chinese importers from the meat sector. Also authority figures from Chile in China atattended such as the ambassador  D. Luis Schmidt and the Sales Director of  Prochile in China, Juan José Vidal.

Because of the mobility limitations, the day had a peculiarity that Chilean businesses took part by streaming from Chile through a huge screen in the room. Each started with welcoming remarks through the big screen. Followed by the ambassador, there present, who also had words of welcome and thanks to the attendee. After the presentation, a cooking show was held of typical Chinese dishes with Chilean pork as main actor. After the presentation, the guest were able to taste the dishes prepared by the chef.

The whole act was streamed, so Chilepork as well as Chilean businesses could watch it live. This innovative initiative is a further demonstration that Opera Global Business is able to adapt to whatever external obstacle and ib this way continue to help the international promotion plan for its clients.

After months of on- site activities at a standstill due to the COVID19 crisis, Opera Global Business consultancy firm has resumed organising on-site events.

By doing so, on the 9th of September  2020, the firm was in charge of organising a dinner presentation for Spanish beef in Dubai, in collaboration with La Liga, the Spanish Professional Football League

The event, to which more than 70 professionals from the local meat sector came, two awarded chefs with a Michelin Star: Juanlu Fernández y Fernando del Cerro, from the restaurants :Lú Cocina y Alma y Casa José, who were in charge of making the “tapa” from the best national products. The strict security measures put in place, did not affect the development of an advertising activity of great impact in the city.

By organising this activity , Opera takes its first step into the new normality of a world marked by the footprints of a pandemic that has paralysed us, showing us the capacity to adapt in light of the changing reality we find ourselves in.
