Algeria & Tunisia – from the breadbasket of Rome to food security

Price

The total price for participation in the business delegation to Algeria & Tunisia is 18,400 DKK excl. flight, hotel and VAT per company for 1 representative and 5 local guests of own choice at the reception hosted by the Danish Ambassador to Algeria & Tunisia. Extra representative is 2,500 DKK per person.

Registration cost remains the same whether the company chooses to participate in one or two markets (Algeria or Tunisia).

NOTE: The Danish company is free to have its local representatives represent your company in full during the event. On the registration form you can, if relevant, therefore add the contact information of the local participating person/company. However, only Danish companies in Denmark with a Danish CVR number can register for participation, and the invoicing will always be issued in DKK to the Danish company address.

We reserve the right to offer you participation at a different price, if any of the above criteria change. Should this result in a higher price than quoted, you have the right to cancel your participation. Other expenses not mentioned above are at your own expense including visa, flights, dining & drink and hotel.

NOTE: The price is based on 7 participating companies, who are all eligible for subsidy, and 50 percent subsidy (already granted) from the Trade Council of Denmark.
If your company is not eligible for subsidy due to de-minimis issues (having received more than 300,000 Euro in de-minimis subsidy within the past 3 years, including the present), you are obliged to pay the full price without the subsidy. The same conditions apply, if you do not wish to receive subsidy.
