Important results from the project
The purpose of this project was to get more companies in Sweden interested in the American market. The goal was that twelve companies would have the opportunity to participate in UCLA Global Access Program to get valuable insights of a new market. We didn´t reach the goals due to lack of interest from companies.
Expected long term effects
Since the project didn´t result in any effects for companies we don´t have any results to report.
Approach and implementation
The program is a cost-effective way for companies to get an understanding and insight of the US market. The companies are assigned MBA students that after close work with the top management of the company will conduct many interviews. A report will be put together with a strategic business plan and next step recommendations providing the companies valuable insights for their internationalisation. Vinnova and Almi cooperate with UCLA to identify Swedish companies for participation. Good plan and we have made efforts to find suitable companies but failed due to lack of interest.
