Swissnex Startup Internationalization Programme
How does the Swissnex Internationalization Programme accompany Swiss technology startups on their journey along the most important steps?
Globalization drives the world’s economy continuously towards the forefront of technical capabilities of innovation by overcoming the constraints of geographies. In particular, startups from countries with small domestic markets and born global – like Switzerland, need to internationalize early and efficiently in order to overcome these challenges and survive. Together with Innosuisse, the Swissnex network has supported startup internationalization for over 10 years. Currently available in 8 countries (USA, UK, Israel, China, India, South Korea, Brazil, and Japan), the Swissnex Internationalization Camp guides Swiss technology-based startups in their global journey along the most critical steps, which will be presented in this webinar.
