The three phases on the path to internationalisation

The first phase, entitled “Prepare”, consists of two workshop days on December 10 and 12, 2024. The workshops will be held in English. In spring 2025, the program will continue with “Discover” and tailored preparation for specific entry into international markets. “Access” will conclude in the summer with a delegation trip including pitches to investors and networking with potential partners. You can apply for each phase individually, but successful completion of one phase increases your chances of being considered for the next. Currently, it is only possible to apply for “Prepare”.

  • Startups, scaleups and innovative SMEs

  • Head office in Hamburg or the metropolitan region

  • Product-market fit in the B2B sector

  • Growing sales and reference customers

  • Concrete plans for internationalisation

  • Pitch deck with business model, market strategy and international expansion plans

Applications will be reviewed on the basis of your startup's international potential and the answers to the application questions.
