About The Program
Are you a startup founder thinking about what growth potential your solution has around the world?
Join us in Frankfurt for a focused, one-day program on the essentials of internationalization. This program takes a practical look at what it takes to expand into a new market, from navigating unfamiliar business norms and regulatory environments, to product localization and market demand, and applies these essentials concretely to the case study of scaling from Germany to Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, Latin America’s most dynamic markets. You'll leave with a clearer view of what international growth involves, and how it can play out in practice across Latin America.
Following the program, join a curated networking dinner, where you’ll have the opportunity to connect with key Latin American ecosystemplayers and relevant contacts for kicking off your global growth journey.
