Scale up companies who developed a disruptive technology often do not know how to manage their foreign expansion. They are good in their domestic market, but struggle when they want to enter into the highly segmented European market. Startup Campus supports them in the DACH market entry, with it's local team, through a local network and selected industry experts.

The technology readiness level (TRL) ranking system used in the EU Horizon program claims the last step (TRL 9) as "Actual system proven in operational environment". It is the last step of the R+D and the first step of the commercialization for technology companies who want to enter the global market. At this stage, often referred to as “Valley of Death”, less funding or grants are available and large investments (like Serial A) are still risky.

The business development program of Startup Campus focuses on this stage of readiness and helps finding the first international costumers for the innovative solutions of the technology companies. The program includes organizing demo presentations, setting up implementation plans and developing pilot or clinical research projects in the health industry. This unique and tailored business development service usually takes 12-18 months and although it cannot be done in the frame of a state owned or funded program, it can perfectly complete it.
