2008 Soft Landings International
Incubator Designation
Every
day, companies are expanding into international markets. If these
firms bring their businesses to your region, it could mean more
clients for your incubator – and all the accompanying increases
in revenue, prestige and more. But if you want to land foreign
businesses, you need to let them know you can accelerate their
growth. The NBIA Soft Landings designation lets foreign firms
know that NBIA, the world's leading organization advancing business
incubation and entrepreneurship, has identified your incubator
as having specialized programs and/or facilities for helping companies
break into new markets.
What kind of specialized programs might a company entering a foreign market need? Examples of programs and areas of assistance that an incubator could offer include:
- Translation services
- Language training
- Domestic market research and entry assistance
- Access to capital and potential funders
- Intellectual property protection assistance
- Help meeting government regulations
- Help with import/export laws
- Patent assistance
- Help obtaining business and driver’s licenses
- Cultural training
- Immigration & visa assistance
- Housing assistance
