About this Event
Overview
The Dutch market alone is too small to sustain scalable immersive business models. For IX/creators who want to grow, internationalisation is not optional—it’s essential. EXPORT//EXPAND is a hands‑on workshop that helps you sharpen your international ambitions, test your readiness, and prepare for export. Together we’ll focus on four promising European markets: United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Belgium.
Why participate?
- Scale beyond the Netherlands – Sustainable growth requires a European outlook
- Concrete tools & networks – Access missions, funds, and connections through ROM Utrecht Region and EIT Culture & Creativity
- Learn from practice – Hear real stories of international success and failure, and educate yourself in what it takes to succeed
- Peer learning – Exchange insights with fellow IX/creators, sharpen your positioning, and validate your export strategy
