If you have a growing startup that’s ready to scale abroad, this is your chance to enter the world’s most important market for tech startups! 

The GoGlobal program begins with an intensive 12-week online training phase. You’ll work closely with the U.S.-based experts to refine your go-to-market strategy and gain the insights needed for successful expansion.

During these three months, you’ll participate in weekly sessions with mentors who will guide you in preparing your business for the U.S. market. You’ll receive tailored advice, expert-led workshops, and ongoing support to help you develop a robust strategy for market entry. 

The program also includes specialized sessions, like a workshop on the importance of HR culture when scaling abroad and personalized feedback sessions to ensure you’re on the right track.

As the USA is promised land for almost all entrepreneurs who dream of expanding abroad,

we will take you there too! 

The second stage takes you to Boston, one of the world’s most dynamic hubs for entrepreneurship and home to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Here, you’ll gain hands-on experience through immersive workshops, B2B meetings, and networking events with key business partners and investors.

The Boston GoGlobal program, together with its Berlin editions, is one of two international events aimed at helping innovative tech startups expand into key global tech markets. 

Thanks to being affiliated with MIT, we can equip tech entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to turn their innovative ideas into globally successful businesses.
