Important results from the project
The program aims to attract and support startups from Singapore, as well as to help them expand globally by using Stockholm and Sweden as a base. In addition, strengthen the opportunity for Sweden as a nation to be precisely a springboard for fast-growing companies from all over the world. We are proud to state that this year´s programme led to a number of exciting business dialogues between the participating companies and potential customers and business partners in Sweden and the Nordics.
Expected long term effects
To strengthen Sweden´s attractiveness in the long term when it comes to attracting international fast-growing companies, which with Stockholm and Sweden as a base give themselves better conditions to go from being talented startups in their home market to becoming global scaleups. Over time, to attract both companies, talent and capital to grow in and from Sweden, with innovation and scalability as watchwords.
Approach and implementation
The program is structured in 3 phases: Phase 1) We get to know the companies in depth on their own home ground, to fully understand their opportunities and challenges. Phase 2) We coach the companies online from Stockholm, with handpicked coaches, mentors and industry experts, and prepare them to do business internationally. Phase 3) The companies move to Stockholm for a period, normally a couple of weeks, and with Epicenter as a base, contacts are made and business relationships are created.
