Such a pleasure hosting BelCham—what a great group!
🚀 An incredible start for our BeNeLux Catalyst program in NYC with the 2024 cohort!!! The first three days of the program have been incredibly intense, filled with hands-on workshops and valuable learning experiences! Here is a sneak peek at what we have covered so far: 🎤 Founder Talk & Speaker Session: Our group gained firsthand insights from an inspiring serial entrepreneur, wilson kriegel. Wilson’s session was followed by Todd Grossman, a highly accomplished leader in the media and technology industry, and Ed Moed, a leader in the brand, marketing, and communications world. Together they shared key lessons on scaling alkwalker and best practices in PR & communications. 🇺🇸 Breaking into the US Market: Franklin Williams, Director of Global Business Excellence at Thermo Fisher Scientific, led an interactive workshop on selling in the US, where participants explored the key differences between the US and the BeNeLux region. 🌐 Networking in the US: John L., entrepreneur and natural connector, guided our entrepreneurs through the nuances of building a lasting network in the US, while our program manager and founder of Keymate.AI, Philip D., shared essential strategies for scaling your network. A big thank you to KBC Bank & Verzekering, the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Kleinberg, Kaplan, Wolff & Cohen, P.C. for hosting our cohort! We’re excited for the days ahead as these companies refine their strategies and prepare for their US expansions!
