ENRICH in the USA, through their partner InBIA (International Business Innovation Association), organises two 2-week boot camps in the United Sates that will provide participants with perspectives on their market opportunities in various US regions.

All Boot Camp participants will start and end the programme in Boston where they will receive an introductory course in 'Conducting Business in the US' and engage in unique networking opportunities with local innovation experts.

In between, participants will each be hosted for up to 10 days by a certified Soft Landing site in the US which will provide programming / services especially themed to the various industry sectors and matched to the needs of each applicant.

In preparation for the Boot Camps, a pre-departure workshop will be provided to ensure the participants make the most of their two weeks in the US.
