Above & Beyond Hangout #4 // Business Abroad: Countdown to Collision

Event held in English.

When scaling a startup, an entrepreneur's journey is quite uncertain. Doing business abroad requires a keen eye for what you want to be in the future while making sure you have an adequate team to support what you've already built and the new international venture.

Scaling is about expanding horizons and growing your network. In this edition, we partnered with Web Summit, ahead of this year’s Collision event in Toronto, to bring you the stories of entrepreneurs who have been through – or are in – the process of internationalizing their startups, so they can share their experiences and tips for those who go next.

This hangout will start with a special fireside chat with Carlos Moedas (CML), Paddy Cosgrave (Web Summit), Beatriz Freitas (BPF) along with António Dias Martins (Startup Portugal), to discuss how international conferences can help different ecosystem actors expand their operations.

Following this, we will give the stage to several startups participating in this year's Startup Portugal's Business Abroad missions to Spain, Germany and France. A great opportunity to know their internationalization strategies and their challenges!

Finally, we will end with a talk with EMOTAI, Splink and sheerME about the obstacles and pains of scaling up their businesses, hoping to learn with their valuable experiences and thoughts about how to scale abroad.
