We assess and identify the potential attractiveness of the products/services you want to export in the new market. The first step for you to enter a new market is to get meaningful insights based on in-person interviews with local experts and managers in your industry and data collected locally on the ground.
We also provide corporate evaluation as regards potential target companies – notwithstanding the industry or the business stage.
We carry out all the strategic assessments through market analyses, data collection, “boot-on-the ground” interviews, SWOT analysis, Porter analysis, marketing plan, and comprehensive business plans.

We help you sell your products/services in a new market, though the selection and the daily management of local distributors, dealers and retailers.
Having the right product is not enough anymore.
