One day. One concrete plan to expand your business across Europe.
A hands-on workshop for founders who are serious about scaling across DACH and CEE — hosted by The Scaling School.
90% of European startups never successfully expand beyond their home market. Not because their product is wrong. Because their expansion approach is.
Hosted by The Scaling School (worked with over 700 founders and teams) in collaboration with IKEA Business Network, this event starts with an interactive workshop... and ends with an after-party with a Swedish buffet and networking! 💃
Interactive Workshop 🚀 (Limited Capacity: 40 seats)
Time: 12:30 – 17:00
Location: 4future, Graben 17, Vienna
Requirement: Please bring your laptop for the interactive exercises.
Stop guessing and start building. In this hands-on session, we open our "Scaleup in a Box" toolkit to help you move from scattered ideas to a concrete expansion plan. Led by Maria Horelli-Rosenlew (35+ years of executive experience), by 17:00, you'll have built — on your own business, not a case study:
A clear target customer profile for your next market, using a framework that tells you exactly who to go after first
A map of your team's real bottlenecks and what to hire for next
A one-page expansion roadmap ready for immediate implementation
This is a unique opportunity to connect with international peers and build a systematic path for your business expansion. Don't miss your chance to turn your vision into a functional, market-ready reality!
