About

Program Structure & Timeline:

A 10-week initiative consisting of a 9-week online preparation phase focusing on GTM strategy, tailored matchmaking. The program culminates in a 1-week in-market acceleration trip to the Netherlands.

Core Goals:

De-risking international expansion and facilitating soft landings for Singaporean companies to secure commercial deals with local partners, obtain capital funding, and establish local office operations.

Key Pillars & Benefits:

  • Commercial Growth & Matchmaking: Tailored go-to-market research and warm introductions to key industry players to bypass cold outreach.

  • Expert Guidance: Weekly 1:1 mentorship and advisory sessions with specialist mentors and industry experts.

  • Investor Connections: Curated leads and direct introductions to top-tier European venture capitalists and investors.

  • Business Setup Support: Practical know-how to navigate legal, regulatory (such as GDPR), and operational hurdles in the Dutch market.

Investment & Eligibility:

Heavily subsidized through a strategic partnership with Enterprise Singapore. The original program cost of SGD 12,000 – 15,000 is reduced to a post-subsidy investment of SGD 6,186 for eligible startups (companies registered in Singapore with at least 30% local shareholding)
