Soft Landings Designation
Our Soft Landings network members ensure that businesses entering or expanding into a new country are offered an accelerated introduction to that country’s business practices, regulations, and culture. Soft Landings designees make contacts in a new country quickly and efficiently while providing access to the resources necessary to meet business goals.
Apply for the Soft Landings Designation
We recognize the rapid growth in the need for entrepreneur support organizations that serve foreign companies interested in expanding outside of their domestic markets. To serve these foreign companies, we have developed a global network of Soft Landing-designated programs that have been validated through a rigorous application and peer-review validation process.
A Soft Landings designation recognizes entrepreneur support organizations that excel in providing companies with various services. Ultimately, Soft Landing designees ensure that foreign companies experience a “soft landing” when entering a new country.
The Soft Landings designation is available to any entrepreneur support organization that demonstrates they have the resources and programming to meet the needs of foreign/non-domestic companies that want to enter their markets.
