International business

Planning for international business?

Just as it is in the Netherlands, in other European countries it's also difficult to find out about the right government subsidy schemes. Subpoort will discover for you what international activities may qualify for grants. Possibilities may be: programmes, projects, international collaboration and networking.

Subsidy opportunities for SMEs with international ambitions

As an SME, do you have international ambitions or are you already active internationally? Then subsidies can help you with investment abroad or with starting up international projects. Projects abroad can bring with them high financing risks. And you always have to deal with uncertainties. These can be both local and cultural in nature, or may be linked to operational or practical difficulties. On the other hand, the opportunities and challenges offered by the international market present "unlimited" growth potential. Subsidies provide the right impetus and make your investment or project financially more attractive. Subsidies can also make it easier for you to build an international network. The same is true of partnerships with other businesses, knowledge institutes and local authorities.

Subsidies for international projects and investments

Subpoort will outline these funding opportunities for you. Subpoort supports your local and international subsidy applications, and can also benchmark subsidy opportunities in different regions and undertake location scans for you. Our professionalism ensures you achieve your international ambitions, with the benefit of security. Through involvement in your company Subpoort is able to support you through the whole subsidy process.

Interested in collaboration with partners in emerging markets?

Subpoort advises businesses who are ambitious to invest abroad, but wish to limit their financial exposure through subsidies. Exploiting international opportunities, realising growth strategies, achieving benefits of scale, or overtaking the competition: all are reasons to invest internationally. However, such investments bring high financial risks. The government has set up a number of stimulus programmes to limit these risks and to facilitate investment for companies.

Subpoort is focused on companies who (would like to) internationalise toward emerging markets in Asia, Africa, Central and South America and Eastern Europe. We advise you in:

• Partner search - finding businesslike partners 
• Entering into strategic collaborations 
• Drawing up business plans 
• Drawing up applications and obtaining subsidies and loans 
• Providing project administration and (interim) management

Subpoort is familiar with the various incentive programmes such as PSI, IFOM and other financial programmes from the EU and IFC. We will be pleased to offer assistance, on attractive terms. Like to know more? If so, please contact us - there's no obligation whatsoever.
