What you get
Who sells my category there, how do I get in, and how do I start the conversation without breaking the rules.
Distributors with proof
Companies that already sell your category in the market — backed by the public contracts they won, with buyer, scope, value and date. Manufacturers who would compete with you are flagged, not listed as partners.
Your route to market
Dealer, buying group or head office? How the country buys, how its distributors work with suppliers and what they expect from a new one — certifications, product data, delivery terms, language. The three months most manufacturers lose, in one guide per country.
The legal first contact
B2B outreach rules differ by country: what is routine in France is unlawful in Germany. Cresques tells you which channel is allowed where you are going and drafts the first message to each company in its language, with the required opt-out where e-mail is allowed.
Market intelligence
How big the market is, how big each company is, and who else is out there — from official statistics and company registers, with the source under every figure.
What the country imports in your category, year by year, and how much comes from inside and outside the EU, with the top supplier countries. Eurostat trade data for all 27 EU countries.
A €2M distributor or a €30M one? Revenue, profit and staff from filed accounts in 8 countries, charted over the years. Switch between euro, US dollars and the local currency at ECB rates.
Beyond the companies that win tenders: wholesalers and manufacturers of your category from the official business registers of France, Czechia, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Lithuania, Estonia and Romania. Companies only, never sole traders.
The international fairs of your industry and the national fairs, congresses and niche conferences of each market, checked on the official websites, with links to their exhibitor lists.
Browse the events by industry →Most public contracts by number never reach TED: they are published only on national portals. Cresques adds them market by market with the same evidence — who won, for whom, how much and when. Poland first; every plan sees how much there is.
Follow a market and get an e-mail on weekday mornings when a new contract in your category is awarded, with the winner and the buyer. Add-on: the open tenders of your categories and buying signals in the same e-mail (early access).
Download the companies of a market and the register lists as CSV, with the source of every row, ready for your CRM or a spreadsheet.
One page per market: imports and trend, the leading companies with their size, the register landscape and every source — print it or save it as PDF for your team.
Public pages show which companies win public supply contracts, country by country and category by category — no sign-up needed.

Compare plansHow it works
Cresques reads what you make — from your site or your catalogue — recognises the products, maps them to the categories public buyers use and researches the market. You confirm, nothing else.
The companies with a sales record in your category — each with its award notices — and the market's import size; open a profile to see what kind of company it is.
Every award, the company's role with quotes, the lawful channel and a ready first message. The country guide sets out what distributors there expect. Pay with credits for what you unlock.
Every company on a market's “who wins” list is tied to contract awards you can check yourself. No scraped lead databases.
Start with France or Germany, add Sweden next month. Categories follow the EU's CPV classification.

In 1375 Abraham Cresques, the Majorcan “master of maps and compasses”, completed the Catalan Atlas — a chart that told merchants not only where the coasts were, but where the trade routes ran and which ports dealt in what. For centuries, anyone entering a foreign market started with a map like it. We do the same for your next market.
