"Everything has been implemented by IB to insure that the U.S. deployment of our local companies was as successful as possible. International Mini-audit, Strategic Marketing Innovation Study (ISMA 360), Soft Landing Go-to-Market Strategy, and field validation: nothing was missing from the range of services offered by IB. As a result, the executive teams of the selected startups were able to make informed decisions, and to seize every business opportunity in the US. We highly recommend the services of International Boost for companies that need to deploy their Marketing and Sales unit in the U.S., particularly in Silicon Valley”. Richard Biagioni, Director

"IB did a great job in organizing a series of professionally rewarding visits in Silicon Valley for the 33 students of the Centrale ESSEC Entrepreneurship Master’s Program, said Jean-François Gallouin, Program Director. Despite a very limited budget, IB arranged meetings with a number of key companies like Google, Yahoo and Facebook, as well as with other key players in the Silicon Valley ecosystem, such as venture capitalists (Sofinnova, Partech,…), a law firm (Greenberg Traurig), a major university (Stanford) and international incubators (US MAC, Plug and Play). These visits provided participants with highly valuable insights into the dynamics of Silicon Valley. We will definitely call again on IB to organize such business discovery trips for us."
