Globalization? Internationalization? Market entry is a forever topic for business, and often a key to success, yet startups often lack resources, contacts, knowledge and experience when it comes to execution and sales. Thus, NewCo is organizing a seminar day which consists morning speech and panel discussion for startups to gain insights. After the seminar, we will have a networking session in the beautiful backyard of NewCo Helsinki, embraced with summer breeze, sunshine, music and great companies.
