ContactICEX-Invest in Spain and the Rising UP in Spain programme have been a major part of our international adventure. They have given us the opportunity to work close to the market, to understand companies and their needs, to be in Iberia's most significant sector clusters"
Rising UP in Spain programme first helped us with understanding the market, and then with understanding the legislation and the culture. It has also connected us with great partners who can make our entry much cheaper, simpler and more certain"
Being selected for this programme has shown that Neuro-Bio is an attractive company, with good ideas and good management organisation. And there is the support the programme has exposed us to in the Spanish and European markets, with enormous possibilities for collaboration with companies and research centres headquartered in Spain which we did not know before we were selected”
For us it was very important to take a good look at our assumptions and project them onto the European market, thanks to the programme Rising UP in Spain. In Latin America we were already strong, but the European market was a complete unknown to us. That’s why taking part in this type of programme is such a great opportunity for start-ups to expand into overseas markets"
The Rising UP in Spain programme is very well thought out. It clearly provides major support when deciding to set up in Spain. ICEX does in addition have great prestige in the country and is a seal of confidence; it clearly helps us when it comes to making first contact in Spain”
