Overview

Our prestigious New York City Immersion Program is specifically for B2B Tech businesses around the globe expanding into the USA.

New York is the financial capital of the world, and a globally recognised tech hub. It’s a magnet for entrepreneurs and founders across many sectors – fintech, climate tech, health/med tech, edtech, fashiontech, the arts, media and manufacturing – to name just a few.

Also, New York’s support for women and minority business owners is well documented, with a staggering USD16B allocated in 2015 (for 10 years) to support these sectors.

Every tech company wants to compete in the concrete jungle! And why not? With 1,752 international companies in the Empire State, there is a great opportunity to meet with prospects and partners, investors and professional service companies to support global expansion.

Our established (and the original) New York Immersion Program gives you access to the best of what New York has to offer. Our fully curated program offers businesses the opportunity to connect with New York City entrepreneur ecosystem, corporate networks, investors, educators and professional service companies to facilitate a successful USA market entry.

Businesses who have started to scale into the USA, and require additional traction are also encouraged to apply.
