Workshop - Beyond national borders: how, when and why to enter new markets

This workshop focuses on the strategic and technical challenges of entering new markets, leveraging on inorganic growth processes, which redesign current portfolio and create a competitive advantage for the entire business.

During the event, with a combination of academics, advisors and ELITE entrepreneurs, we will try to answer questions like:

  • How do you prepare your strategy for internationalisation? What decisions do you need to make, and where do get the answers?
  • The impact on organisation and talent
  • Legal aspects to consider when internationalising
  • The M&A as a tool to internationalise, how to get ready, what works well, what makes a deal fail

The event provides multiple moments to get in touch with experts and other entrepreneurs and directors from European ELITE companies and fosters collaboration.
