The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem: A Catalyst for the International Scalability of Startups

Startups need access to international markets to underpin their growth, as international scalability is key to their evolution. There are numerous international business strategies, many of which depend on the size, technological level and years in operation of the company. For a startup to become a scaleup at an international level, involvement in the local ecosystem first and then in the international ecosystem is essential. It is the interrelationships of startups with other startups, corporations, funds, universities, R&D centres, etc. that best enable the growth and gain in competitiveness of an emerging technology company. In the panel we will learn from the protagonists how these relationships are woven between key players in the ecosystem and how this allows the (necessary) international scaling.
