German term or phrase: mittelfristig
Auch hier sollte versucht werden mittelfristig eine Kundenstruktur aufzubauen.

I am not sure, how to translate mittelfristig. The only English equivalent I found, is in the medium term.

But I am not sure, whether this is the appropriate term here.

Your help is really appreciated

Thanks in advance
