The Global Market Entry Program (GMEP) is a unique initiative financed by the City of The Hague and the Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague, and facilitated by InnovationQuarter and The Hague & Partners. Together with our local and international partners, we are committed to supporting the international expansion of local SMEs, helping them to grow, become more resilient, and ultimately contribute to job creation in the region.
Launched as a pilot in 2018, the program has evolved into a yearly offering with focusing on several nearby markets. Since its inception, it has supported and empowered more than 80 ambitious alumni, enabling them to explore new markets, seize international opportunities, and strengthen their businesses for the future.
Our mission: to foster global success for regional businesses while boosting the economic vitality of our community.
The Partnerboard plays a vital role in shaping the direction of the Global Market Entry Program. Together with our partners from the Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague (MRDH), we work collaboratively to ensure the program meets the needs of local entrepreneurs.
Our partners help us connect with regional SMEs, providing valuable insights into their interests, ambitions, and target markets. This close cooperation enables us to design and deliver demand-driven activities that truly support entrepreneurs in their international growth journeys.
Through the Partnerboard, we build a strong ecosystem where collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and tailored support drive impact — both for individual businesses and for the economic development of our region.
