Defence export advisory: open and keep a foreign market

I help defence SMEs and mid-caps grow abroad: market selection, export control, local partners, offsets and trade shows.

Assignments are handled in strict confidence: by design, no client is named on this site.

The problem — Defence

Your products are proven, but foreign defence markets follow their own rules: long procurement cycles, export authorisations (export control, ITAR where US components are integrated), industrial offset requirements and the choice of a local partner. The export challenge is knowing which market to target, with whom and in what order — from shows such as Eurosatory or IDEX to first contacts with prime contractors and ministries.

Who it is for — Defence
