The US Market Entry Bootcamp is a 3-day seminar on the US market and provides companies with the necessary expert knowledge for a successful market entry into the USA. The seminar will take place at the IHK Düsseldorf for the first time in September 2024.

All days of the boot camp will feature interactive presentations from subject matter experts and company representatives on a range of relevant topics, followed by one-on-one consultations between the speakers and participating companies. This will allow individual challenges to be discussed on a one-to-one basis.

In addition, all participants will receive a comprehensive guide that can be used to create a business plan for market entry in the USA.
