Accelerating Innovative Businesses
Globalization and access to worldwide markets has enabled streams of innovative and disruptive business ideas, models and practices, allowing innovative early-stage companies to embrace new opportunity corridors to access new markets, investment and partnership opportunities. At the heart of knowledge dissemination, innovation and fast expansion models are startups and small/medium-sized companies riding the waves of change and facing challenges, especially in early stages.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are, in many countries, recognized as the backbone of economic growth, contributing to the GDP through job creation and income generation while alleviating poverty. SME growth is, however, often constrained by various factors, such as limited access to information and technological know-how, lack of economies of scale, deficiencies in corporate governance and limitations in access to funds.
With access to international business & entrepreneurial networks, Pelham Grey focus on three key areas: Venture Building, Partnerships and Innovation Labs.
