Applications have opened for the 2027 Global Market Entry Program, offering businesses in the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan region support as they prepare to enter international markets.
The nine-month programme is aimed at established start-ups and scale-ups that are ready to grow beyond the Netherlands. The next edition focuses on France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Participants receive workshops, coaching and guidance from internationalisation specialists. Country experts help businesses explore potential customers and make contacts in their chosen market.
According to The Hague & Partners, previous participating Hague businesses include NAÏF, Seepje, Hop & Stork and Buro Brand. The programme combines preparation of an international strategy with access to local and international networks.
For entrepreneurs considering an application, the starting point is to assess whether the programme’s markets and stage of business development fit their plans. Places are limited.
