Market Link Italy supports companies in the ‘global south’ that want to establish a presence in the EU, whether for products or services.
We focus on the part that is often underestimated and hard to assess: market readiness, pricing, customer and competitor landscape, availability of labour and talent, legislation and latent hurdles affecting setup decisions.
We understand risk and compliance, including privacy and regulatory considerations, for both the market entrant as well as their products / services.
We combine structured market research with practical guidance on how to operate in the EU, aspects that can affect your timeline and risk, before you invest heavily in go-to-market activity.
What we believe
Market entry is a business decision
Europe is not one market.
Each country has its own buyer expectations, regulations, and practical realities, some countries have their own currencies (non-Eurozone countries).
Informed preparation reduces time, reduces risk, and improves your ability to execute once you decide to enter.
We’re based in Italy, know Italy, and, from Italy, have almost immediate access to the rest of the EU.
Italy can be a great springboard for understanding and setting up entry into the EU.
