Internationalization and Business Development Sample Clauses

Internationalization and Business Development. In previous batches, we offered Demo Days as well as a Deceleration event as extra services to the startups. Due to the special nature of the IMPACT Extension Program (fewer startups, shorter time frame), offering these services was not feasible nor optimal.
