World trade has been facing a new challenge in the past period, and the global pandemic additionally reflects on the operations of export-oriented companies, disrupting the annual plans of companies and the presence in third markets.

Under difficult conditions, companies were forced to think unconventionally and apply new technologies to secure their market position, ensure a smooth flow of regular activities and thus create opportunities for new partnerships and appearances in new markets. The companies are constantly facing new challenges, especially the export-oriented companies whose placement on the foreign markets was directly conditioned by the new situation.
