A 3 step process

  1. Startup audit (half day)
  2. Approach and partners selection (2 to 3 months)
  3. Presentation of partners (3 to 5 days)

You select a country and define your goals.

1. A project manager:

  • Precisely refines your company description to make it relevant to the country’s market, your objectives, the target profile of the partners to be approached (customers, business partners...) and a schedule of appointments.
  • Regularly inform you of the smooth progress of each stage of the mission in the country.

2.    The on site local ALTIOS International correspondent:

  • Checks the feasibility of your project in your chosen country 
  • Carries out the assignments from A to Z: prospecting in the field, identifying and approaching targets, validation of the suitability of partners and their offers with the tender specifications, selection of partners, submission of the assignment file with a detailed presentation of each prospect selected.

3.    You meet potential partners in the country:

  • Our correspondent organises your meeting schedule and introduces you to selected prospects on the market: background on the country, logistics management, presentation of partners, advice during negotiations and support throughout appointments.
  • Upon your return, you will debrief the assignment with ALTIOS International and the Crédit Agricole Group.
