Depending on your ambitions, we can involve you in our trade programming towards different focus countries, guide you in your development of an internationalisation plan and/or help choose the relevant countries for you.
We offer multi-year market development programmes you can take part in, soft-landing opportunities you can utilize and internationalisation advice & matchmaking for your company.
Market Development Programmes
Businesses in the HSD Community are offered the opportunity to explore market opportunities and receive support to build up a strong network in the following countries:
UK
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is an extremely mature security market. Of course Brexit has shuffled the cards a bit with regards as to how, but it remains interesting to do business in the UK. We are in close contact with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in London and Consulates in other parts of the UK and, with the Department of International trade who are situated in The Hague. We also join Infosec yearly. The largest cybersecurity expo in the UK where we had a pavilion in 2019.
Also there is the possibility to soft-land in the United Kingdom with a Soft-landing programme from Global EPIC.
Let us know if you are exploring the UK and we will connect you where we can!

Global Soft-landing Opportunities
Collaboration on a global scale is crucial, that’s why we have focused on teaming up with other security clusters in the world. By combining our strengths, we have created the unique opportunity for businesses to ‘soft-land’ for a trial period in the market of these partner clusters. Companies and entrepreneurs taking part in the soft-landing programme benefit, free of charge, from access to excellent resources and commercial opportunities, opportunities to be introduced to new partners and talented employees, practical guidance on how to do business in the local market, and so the opportunity to trial new international markets with low-risk. Thanks to these collaborations companies and entrepreneurs have the opportunity to join a Global EPIC softlanding programme or participate with the softlanding programme Ottawa

Within the soft-landing programme, the ecosystems provide, without cost to the companies and entrepreneurs, connections to their partner network, matchmaking with potential business partners, a meeting space, guidance on recruiting talented employees and market circumstances, incubator facilities and guidance on immigration and legal issues, leading to the possibility of establishing a permanent presence in the foreign market.
