Program concept

Nordic Scalers GlobalScaleX offers on-point learnings and tools focusing on the challenges that scaleup companies are facing. Learnings are implemented right away to the business. The program covers the most critical vectors that scaleup companies need to focus on to grow successfully. The program consists of five comprehensive two-day modules, company-specific mentoring sessions and Nordea Investor Speed Dating. The mentoring process will focus more closely on the most crucial pain points for each company.

The first module is Scaleup analysis. We find out companies' current situation, set future targets, and run a GAP analysis to identify where to target resources to maximize growth. We will be selecting mentors for each team to help them with their specific challenges.

The second module focuses on growth strategies, international scaling models, expansion strategies, partnership, and alliance and risk management. The third module is about market research, customer acquisition, marketing and sales of SaaS, growth hacking, and digital marketing. The fourth module is all about growth driven leadership, creating successful company culture and teams, global recruitment, talent management, motivation and communication.

Networking is the core of the fifth module, tapping also into financial management, venturing, and fundraising. Module is delivered in collaboration with The Department for International Trade (DIT). In this module, companies can strengthen and build their network in the UK ecosystem, meet international investors, and get help for scaling their business in the UK.

Nordea Investor Speed Dating concludes the program, allowing companies to pitch their business idea to local and international investors.
