What happens in the world of Franchise Pool International

With a picture from my home town in Bavaria Germany I would like to thank all our friends, clients and FPI members for the great cooperation in 2018.

Franchise Pool International (FPI) held its 9th Global Franchise Forum in Bucharest, Romania. With 50 participants from 15 countries it was a resounding success again. In total 12 franchise brands presented their concepts. During 1-on-1 meetings they were also able to speak about their expansion plans directly with the local FPI partners.

At FPI’s Global Franchise Forum, franchisors have the unique opportunity to approach franchise experts representing 40 different markets and ask specific questions about their target markets’ opportunities and challenges.

In addition to almost all European countries, FPI partners cover Southeast Asia out of Singapore, the Middle East out of Dubai and Canada/USA out of Toronto. We can facilitate expansion into 40 different markets. Usually brands won’t move to 40 countries at the same time. However, each visiting franchisor has the opportunity to talk to franchise experts from their defined target markets. These discussions allow franchisors to gain valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities that each market presents.

FPI organizes two such events every year. These meetings are designed to support the international growth aspirations of global franchise systems. Our consultants serve as advisors for market entry. FPI also provides a network supporting the search for master partners in the new markets.
The next Global Franchise Forum will be held in Oslo, Norway on 14th to 16th May, 2019.

A swiss investment group bought the master licence for austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and South Germany.
Dr. Edita Becic and Dusan Zerak are the managers for this new enterprise based in Vienna.

We wish all the best for the future.

Bucharest November 1st to 3rd 2018

Due to our great success and the big demand of brands interested in international expansion we decided to offer the same format twice a year starting with our next forum in Bucharest.
