🌍 The right connections can take you places. Quite literally, in Spectr BIM's case.    After hauling in a world-leading dredging group, the young entrepreneurs were convinced that their VR-powered collaboration platform for Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an absolute gem. 💎     Watch out, far-away markets, this Flanders-based startup is coming for you! Just a few months in, Spectr BIM is ready to go full throttle with its internationalization – especially after they reached out to Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT), the agency powering Startup.Flanders.    A visit to the FIT office in Helsinki and a chat with Innovation Liaison Officer Hanna Tuohino set the wheels in motion in various ways, with valuable insights into:    ✔️ must-attend trade shows in the Nordics and beyond  ✔️ the most important industry players in the region  ✔️ the customs of the local business culture  ✔️ and much, much more    The cherry on the cake according to sales executive Thijs Devooght? “FIT’s proactive and warm introductions to their vast network of industry players. They’re pure gold for fresh, little-known startups just like ours.”    Oh, and their free spot in the Startup.Flanders booth at TechBBQ, the main startup event in Copenhagen. 🤩    Want all the details on how Flanders Investment & Trade propels this startup into global markets? Check our interview with Thijs here: https://bit.ly/3MHFeU5. Spoiler alert: it’s a rave review.  ---     🔻 Startup.Flanders, home for hungry startups    Joining Startup.Flanders means joining a community that brings you and your startup closer to destination tomorrow – in #Flanders and beyond.

Networking Construction = the previous week 💙 Being part of START Global and attending the START Summit x Hack last week, felt like going to school for the first day; hard to get up, meeting numerous new people, plenty of chats, unlimited access to knowledge and instant sleep the moment you return home. ☄ What's more? 1,000 startup applications, 30 startups being shortlisted, 12 of them selected to pitch in the quarter finals of the START Summit, 4 made it to the finals and guess what... For the second consecutive year, the winner was the selected startup from RtSS Barcelona: Tether (Techstars '23). Luis Medina Rivas you nailed it! 🤟 It was an absolute pleasure meeting the starties from all around Europe (and now LATAM 😱 ) and seeing familiar faces, not just through a call, but on an actual coffee chat. Thank you everyone for making this experience unique, especially the fellow Barcelona starties and the Presidents & Vice Presidents of the Network. PS: Please volunteer for the construction week next year, it's a memorable experience! 😉 START Barcelona, START Helsinki, START Hamburg, START Munich, START Berlin, START Nuremberg , START Stuttgart, START Vaduz, START Lisbon, START Paris, START Lausanne, START Maastricht #start #startbarcelona #startsummit #entrepreneurship #startups
