SIMEX Officially Appointed as Knowledge Content Sponsor for the GEVA Switzerland Project

From Practical Training to Building Enterprise Knowledge Systems for Exporters

Following its direct involvement in delivering training and coaching programs for enterprises under the GEVA Switzerland Project, SIMEX has now been entrusted with a more strategic responsibility: developing the entire specialized knowledge system and serving as the official Knowledge Content Sponsor of the project.

This marks a significant transition from a “training provider” to a “knowledge system architect,” demonstrating SIMEX’s deep expertise and practical experience in export–import operations and international business.

10-Module Knowledge System – Standardizing the Entire Export Process

At the core of this phase is the development of a comprehensive 10-module training framework, covering the full export lifecycle from A to Z:

1. Export Pricing and Quotation 

2. Contract Drafting and Negotiation 

3. International Freight Arrangement 

4. Bills of Lading and Legal Framework 

5. International Payment 

6. Export Documentation 

7. Cargo Insurance 

8. International Customer Acquisition 

9. Rules of Origin and Certificates of Origin (C/O) 

10. Export Order Management 

What distinguishes this system is its strong practical orientation, rather than theoretical abstraction. Each module represents a critical link in real business operations, seamlessly connecting the entire workflow from Sales → Contract → Logistics → Payment → Execution.

This integrated approach reflects a level of operational alignment that is rarely achieved in conventional training materials available on the market.

Standardized Structure – Turning Knowledge into Operational Tools

Each module is designed with a consistent, application-driven structure:

• Module objectives: Clarifying practical learning outcomes 

• Real-world challenges: Addressing actual business pain points 

• Core technical content: Explaining underlying operational principles 

• Step-by-step practical guidance: Clear execution instructions 

• Case studies and risk considerations: Preventing common errors 

• Tools and templates: Ready for immediate application 

• Conclusion and implementation direction: Converting knowledge into action 

As such, the materials serve not only as learning content but also as practical operational tools for business management.

Handbook – A Realistic Perspective on Vietnamese Enterprises

In addition to the 10 modules, SIMEX contributed to the development of a comprehensive Handbook, which plays a critical role in:

• Systematizing knowledge in export–import and international trade 

• Providing realistic assessments of Vietnamese enterprise capabilities 

• Identifying common bottlenecks in export operations 

• Proposing practical, actionable solutions 

This component represents the most valuable part of the project, as it reflects real conditions, real challenges, and real solutions.

Part of a Credible International Ecosystem

The GEVA Project is not merely a training initiative, but a comprehensive support ecosystem for Vietnamese exporters, involving leading international and national organizations:

• 🇨🇭 Swiss Government 

• 🌍 International Trade Centre (ITC) 

• 🇻🇳 Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency - Ministry of Industry and Trade (VIETRADE) 

• 🌱 GEVA – Green Export Vietnam - KISStartup 

SIMEX’s role as the Knowledge Content Sponsor within this ecosystem marks a key milestone, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of export–import training and consulting in Vietnam.

Commitment to Long-Term Partnership

Through its participation in the GEVA Project, SIMEX reaffirms its long-term commitment to:

• Enabling businesses to execute real-world operations effectively 

• Enhancing competitiveness in international trade 

• Supporting sustainable, systematic, and strategic export development
