I'd suggest that is work, because you're paid for that specific thing,
it isn't meetings incidental to being paid to do something else which
is primarily not done in that country.

As per my example - meetings to obtain requirements for and then
demonstrate a piece of software which is built out of country =
business meetings. But I'd say providing paid training or on-site
implementation for said software is work.

I agree. Will this sort of thing require a work permit from the EU
country, post-Brexit?

I certainly hope not. I'm sure the business lobby is heavily twisting the
government's arm to minimise this sort of pointless 'friction'.
