Challenge

  • ALTIOS Strategy has set up a collaborative approach with Innov’ia in order to structure their internationalization and to embark the company and its team towards a customer-centric strategy with a differentiating value proposition.
Result
  • Through their experience, they can share 5 key learnings: do your research, set realistic goals, let your customers guide you in choosing your location, get your whole team on board, don’t be too cautious, get help from local experts.
