Global Reach and Proven Impact<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2022, the Startup Welcome Package has hosted more than 40 startups from across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. These companies have leveraged the opportunity to explore the German market, connect with local players, and strengthen their international strategies.<\/p>\n

Bruno Eisinger, Co-founder of Infinite Foundry, shared: \u201cThe programme provided me with invaluable insights into the Stuttgart market and introduced me to a diverse group of open-minded individuals who are eager to advance technology in their companies. One of the most valuable aspects was the opportunity to connect with small and medium-sized companies that are relatively unknown in Brazil but align perfectly with our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eymard from Melvin also noted: \u201cThe opportunity to be physically there and interact with other people (Germans and foreigners), as well as better understand the nuances and aspects of doing business in Germany, was very valuable to our internationalisation efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
