Soft-Landing

What is Soft-Landing?

Soft-Landing projects facilitate scaling across Europe and beyond by connecting ecosystems and providing immersive experiences in different markets. Soft-Landing missions for startups bring selected companies on fully-organized free market discovery programmes to four European hubs (Germany, the Netherlands, France, Lithuania) and to the US to connect them with the key players and facilitate market entry. It also provides ecosystem builders with the knowledge of foreign markets who can provide better support to startups and scaleups in their home countries.

Startup testimonials

Leopoldo Calabria - Live Music Travel

“Attending the Soft Landing mission was crucial for our startup to validate the new product we were about to launch. The feedback and insights gathered during the week in Berlin provided the guidance and scope we were looking for.”

Auras Geambasu - Mobile Academy

“Thanks to the Soft-Landing project I was able to understand the French startup ecosystem and how we can enter (or not) the market. It helped me to re-think my strategy.”

Joshua Anthony - Casky

“Soft- Landing - Vilnius was truly a great experience for Casky, as we have networked with key players in the field of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. On top of this, we have met potential, lifelong contacts to collaborate, socialize, and build with. This experience is highly recommended, as we will pass Soft-Landing along!”
