Their products were designed to streamline hospital administration, improve patient outcomes, and enhance overall healthcare delivery. The company catered to healthcare institutions in Israel, with plans to expand their reach to international markets.

SOLUTIONS
SOLUTIONS
Our countertrade consulting team identified and implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms to address these challenges, including:
Counter-Purchase: We facilitated agreements with foreign healthcare institutions to buy our client’s software solutions, in exchange for purchasing medical equipment and supplies from the foreign institutions, reducing operating costs.
Offsets (Direct and Indirect): We negotiated offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to investments in the Israeli economy, job creation, and reduced production costs.
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) and Build, Transfer and Operate (BTO): We assisted the client in establishing joint ventures with foreign partners to develop and operate new facilities, transferring ownership after a specified period, and enabling global expansion.
Joint Ventures (JVs) and Co-production: We helped the client forge strategic partnerships with international technology companies, sharing resources, expertise, and technology to improve their competitive advantage.
Framework Agreements: We established long-term agreements with foreign distributors to streamline future trade transactions.

Our team worked closely with the client to implement these countertrade mechanisms, including:
  1. Identifying suitable foreign healthcare institutions and suppliers for counter-purchase and offset agreements.
  2. Negotiating terms and conditions for BOT, BTO, and JV arrangements.
  3. Coordinating communication and collaboration between our client and their new international partners.
  4. Monitoring progress and ensuring compliance with all agreements.
