Unlocking Growth Potential.

Unlocking Growth Potential

When we grow, we become more focused,

we work with the best executors, those who can show the best and fight for it. Product-market fit and revenues on their biz model as soon as possible and in their sales- cycle

and we help them to deliver.

I'm lucky to work with people like this, supporting and shaping their market and access they need to partners, funders, and capital, through all the channels we developed as a strong community and key player in Europe with local roots and global reach for our community.?

Today I would like to mention: ASIA

Asia is a big market with many different countries/ cultures,?

As an ambassador for the #BerlinSenate activity for the Asian market for the last few years and working in China and HK and selling in others like Japan and South Korea,( with my previous company),I would like to focus on the potential for European and German startups.?

Why Scaling Up to Asia Makes Sense for European Startups and our ecosystem? HK is an easy door for the Asian market.

In today's globalized business landscape, expanding operations to new markets is a #strategic move for scaling up. While numerous regions offer growth opportunities, Asia stands out as a compelling destination for businesses looking to accelerate their expansion efforts. With its robust economic growth, large consumer base, technological advancements, and supportive policies scaling up to Asia hold immense potential for companies seeking to unlock new avenues of success.

Expanding Consumer Market:

Asia represents a significant consumer market. The rising middle class and increasing disposable incomes have fueled a surge in consumer spending across the region. By entering Asian markets, businesses can tap into this expanding consumer base and drive revenue growth..

Rapid Economic Growth:

Asia has been a hotbed of economic growth over the past decades. Emerging economies such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations have witnessed remarkable progress, creating new business opportunities. These countries have experienced rising GDPs, expanding infrastructure, and increasing urbanization, all contributing to a thriving business environment.?
