The more companies like this in a State, the more confident the country's economy feels and, in our case, the Union. It is possible for individual companies to succeed. However, in order for an industry sector to prosper, a number of other sectors need to develop alongside it. This is confirmed by the experience of the leading economies in the world. Competitiveness cannot be considered as an independent indicator. This is a factor that reflects the status of the economy as a whole: a developed transport, logistic and information and telecommunication infrastructure, access to resources (financial, energy, raw materials), the development of human potential, the business environment, political stability, the availability of sustainable business relations with foreign trade partners and the conditions of access to external markets. In the modern world, economies are uniting in larger regional entities in order to obtain additional benefits. One such example is the Eurasian Economic Union. The formation of a common market for goods, services, capital and labour contributes to the development of cooperative networks. This should be an additional support for the production of competitive products, which in turn will be the basis for the formation of trade relations and agreements with major and prospective partners. The aim of the round table is to offer solutions to develop and intensify cooperation within our integration space in order to increase the export competitiveness of the Union.
