Amsterdam-based RocketX, a scale-up accelerator, announced on Wednesday that it has opened a new office in Athens, Greece, as part of its international expansion.
The Dutch accelerator is hosting its first event in Athens about International Expansion on October 13, Thursday, while also celebrating the opening of the new office. Registrations for the event can be done here.
Fabian van Hoegee, co-founder of RocketX, says, “With your company growing, you might consider international market expansion. However, when expanding into new markets, there are challenges such as international laws, lacking brand awareness, and hiring employees abroad. Therefore, it is crucial to have profound international expansion strategies to overcome these challenges and lead your international expansion to success.”
Why Athens?
The accelerator says it chose Athens as its first international location due to the high tertiary enrolment rate among OECD countries.
