Market Access offers cohort services programmes like the INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION PROGRAMME to improve startups’ knowledge and connections to the local market. The hands-on training programme helps startups define and structure their international growth strategy. The programme follows 8 steps - Diagnosis, Market Discovery, Modeling, Positioning, Launch, Immersion, Validation, and Scaling-Out - to guide startups in developing their international marketing plan and getting closer to the market. This programme offers collective and individual training sessions to help entrepreneurs plan their approach to international markets, acquire knowledge and tools for building a global and scalable business, receive advice on defining their products, markets, and business models, and develop a global mindset to leverage their international journey's growth. It is a collective program that lasts 9 months and is open to startups in operation from any sector and with a track record. This international journey will allow startups to develop a deep understanding of the critical success factors needed to enter the market and create an entry-market strategy that will be tested and reinforced in an immersion phase where they will be able to contact market players and foster contacts in local startup ecosystems. The programme also offers a scaling-out phase to analyse the results and establish improvement actions to leverage the reaching of market entry goals. During this period, startups will be mentored by our experts and mentors to help their companies design an International Marketing Plan to be finished by the end of the project.
