STARTUP & INNOVATION PROGRAMMES

At GTC, we are committed to helping startups, accelerators and innovation ecosystems access new markets, investors, partners and growth opportunities. 

Startup Scouting

We help identify startups and scale-ups that are relevant to a specific sector, market or programme objective. This includes assessing company focus, stage of growth, market readiness, innovation strength and potential fit with investors, corporates or ecosystem partners.

The aim is to identify startups that are not only interesting, but relevant, prepared and suitable for international engagement.

Market Readiness

We help international startups understand what is required to enter or engage with a new market. This can include reviewing positioning, product-market fit, customer segments, regulatory considerations, partnership needs and early go-to-market priorities.

The focus is to help startups move from ambition to a more practical and realistic market-entry approach.

Investor & Partner Engagement

We support targeted engagement with investors, corporates, accelerators, institutions and ecosystem stakeholders. This may include curated introductions, pitch preparation, demo sessions, investor meetings, corporate engagement and sector-specific matchmaking.

The goal is to connect startups with the right stakeholders, not just create generic exposure.

Soft-Landing & Follow-up

We help structure soft-landing support for startups entering or exploring new markets. This includes market briefings, local introductions, meeting coordination, ecosystem access and follow-up support after initial engagements.

The aim is to help startups build early market traction and convert conversations into practical next steps.

What this helps clients achieve

  • Better identification of relevant startups and scale-ups
