We clarify target markets, competitors, and relevant players, making visible the realistic options for where and how to enter.
Together we create a state where you can “at least have a first conversation” with the right people – KOLs, universities and hospitals, incubators, investors, and more.
We design “no-expatriate” entry schemes that keep initial risk and cost under control while helping you build a foothold in overseas markets.
Beyond bio, medical, and healthcare, we also work with technologies in primary industries such as fisheries and agriculture. We specialize in helping R&D-driven and technology ventures expand internationally.
We support you from two bases: Philadelphia, a major life science hub, and Astoria, Oregon, where primary industries are deeply rooted.
We have partnered with government agencies and local authorities to support SMEs and startups. Positioned between the public sector and private companies, we act as a bridge for international expansion.
Starting from the realities of limited headcount and budget, we design practical plans that allow startups and SMEs to begin with a small, manageable first step.
With over 30 years of experience in subsidiary management, sales & marketing, and alliances, we provide proposals that are not theoretical but executable.
We design schemes that do not require immediately setting up a local subsidiary or dispatching expatriates, helping you build a foundation for future full-scale expansion while keeping risk and cost under control.
