The Programme

Partnering with government Agencies (KITA, KISED, …), VCs & the best Korean Accelerators, we design tailor made expansion programs to scale you business globally.

We achieve this through our model, dedicated to allowing Korean startups to grow into positions of innovation pioneers for the region, simultaneously attracting partnerships and transforming POC (Proof of Concept) opportunities.

Each programme is structured in two phases, including  local coaching/training workshops in Seoul and a 5-day delegation bootcamp in our hub: France, Singapore, US.

You can expect to:
> Glean insights into the local startup ecosystem
> Be trained and mentored on scale and market entry strategies, specific to each market: Europe – South Asia – North America
>
Learn business development techniques from experienced corporate leaders
> Gain privileged corporate access through our established partners: 100+
> Fine-tune your approach through strategic experimentation with real-market conditions

> A part time Hack40 business developper to accelerate partnership with distributors, tech communities and recruit new prospects.
